Norbert Dentressangle invests £1m in new site at Rugby

Norbert Dentressangle has invested more than £1m in a new site at Rugby in the UK, primarily to serve as a national distribution centre for Continental Tyre Group (CTG).
 
Norbert Dentressangle has been CTG’s logistics partner since 2006 and is responsible for the storage and distribution of tyres to retailers and fitters throughout the UK. Previously located in Birmingham, the operation has now transferred to the new facility, providing CTG with enhanced capacity and flexibility.
 
The site is also one of the first to benefit from CTG’s new in-house warehouse management system which has been fully interfaced with Norbert Dentressangle’s own SHARP3 transport planning system, providing real-time visibility and control throughout the supply chain.
 
The Rugby site will also act as a consolidation centre, where CTG volumes are combined with volumes from Bridgestone UK, another Norbert Dentressangle customer. In support of the operation, Norbert Dentressangle has also invested in a new 50-strong fleet of radial vehicles, including 18 tonne rigids, 7.5 tonne rigids and long wheel based (LWB) vans, in addition to the existing fleet of 35 articulated vehicles for trunking, cross-dock and bulk deliveries.
 
The 212,000 sq ft Rugby facility is located at Prologis Central Park, close to the M6 motorway. With the CTG operation currently occupying around 60% of the available space, the site will also provide warehousing for other existing and prospective Norbert Dentressangle customers.
