Mars and DHL open new London warehouse

VonMarkus Jaklitsch

Mars UK and DHL have opened the second of two planned warehouses in the UK at London Thames Gateway in East London.

The facility will be used to serve the distribution of goods across all sectors of Mars UK’s business: Mars Food, Mars Wrigley, and Mars Pet Nutrition.

This was part of a project announced when the two companies partnered in 2021 that included the construction of two new warehouses – the East Midlands Gateway facility that opened in May 2022 and this one that has just opened in London.

This £350 million investment in warehousing is part of a strategy to remove 7.7% of current Mars transport from UK roads, which it says will be equivalent to 1 million miles annually. Meanwhile, it has increased its warehousing capacity by over 50%.
