Because of the growing demand for KeyKeg and UniKeg in Europe, Lightweight Containers is opening two warehouses in Spain. The warehouses are located in the Guadalajara and Bilbao regions and are an addition to the production plant in Guadalajara that will be opened in 2019. Thanks to the location, the warehouses will serve to meet orders not only from Spain but from all over Europe.
Anita Veenendaal, Chief Executive Officer of Lightweight Containers, says: “We see service as a crucial element of our success. Next to the product, we aim to provide the best service and keeping stock as close to our customers as possible. The new warehouses will further improve this service. And it will further reduce our carbon footprint, the costs of transport and improve delivery times.”
With the opening of the production line and warehouses in Guadalajara, Lightweight Containers has a global presence of 5 production lines and 12 warehouses. However, it doesn’t end there for the company. In 2019 another line will be opened elsewhere in Southern Europe in order to keep up with demands and so that Lightweight Containers can keep offering customers the best possible service and flexibility.
