The new facility includes approx. 7,000m² of warehousing bringing together the company’s industrial and automotive battery distribution operations under one roof for the first time. A battery charging facility ensures batteries are maintained in first class condition.
Yuasa’s new facility is close to the M4 providing rapid transport links with customers in the UK, particularly London, the south east and midlands. It is also conveniently placed for the port of Southampton through which many of the company’s products arrive from Yuasa’s various global manufacturing facilities.
Andrew Taylor, Managing Director, Yuasa Battery Sales (UK) Ltd commented, “The South Marston facilities bring all of Yuasa’s UK sales and distribution operations under one roof as well as being close to our customers. The location improves our logistics and reduces the company’s carbon footprint significantly. In addition, the Swindon area provides an excellent pool of experienced workers as we seek to constantly maintain and improve our customer service and consolidate our position as the UK’s number one supplier of batteries for industrial, automotive and motorcycle markets.”
