Magnavale is excited to announce that construction of its highly anticipated cold-store facility at Easton is entering the final stages, with the completion and commissioning phase well underway and exclusive access to the facility now being allowed for some customers. This state-of-the-art development enhances Magnavale’s portfolio of temperature-controlled storage facilities, adding a further 101,000 pallet positions.
The main building and plant rooms are now fully complete, and testing of the advanced new automated storage and retrieval systems concluded in October, setting the stage for the first intake of goods for some key customers. The Magnavale Easton team moved into the newly finished offices in October to be closer to the action as the store comes fully online.
At the same time, external works, including the finishing touches to the delivery yard, and the installation of new car parking facilities, are progressing smoothly, with the new access road to Burton Lane on track to streamline the flow of traffic on and off site.
Designed by leading experts in the industry, the new temperature-controlled facility is built to ensure seamless operations during peak periods, such as the busy Christmas season. With multiple pallet ingress and egress points, the facility is engineered to prevent bottlenecks, while integrated redundancy measures guarantee that there is no single point of failure.
Amanda Cogan, Magnavale’s Chief Operating Officer, commented: “As we enter the final stages of this project, we are proud of the progress made and the capability this adds to Magnavale’s customer offering. From the project’s inception we looked to remove cost, complexity, and risk from our strategic partners supply chains. This cutting-edge development will enhance product safety, reduce food waste, and provide our strategic partners with a more efficient, dependable, and sustainable solution for temperature-controlled storage.”
