Pallet-Track member Celkom Transport has opened a newly refurbished 50,000sq ft warehouse at its York site, to meet increasing demand for logistics support, as it continues to grow.
The newly-opened facility will provide additional 3PL pallet storage and fulfilment options for customers.
As part of the company’s new warehouse division, the additional space will facilitate in-bound transportation and fulfilment and improve outbound haulage services as part of a new one-stop-shop facility.
The facility, which will hold a variety of goods, will use Celkom’s operation system, which provides complete transparency for customers from collection to goods delivery.
Lukasz Komamicki, Celkom MD and founder, said: “The new space cements our long-term vision for growth. We can now provide a complete commercial offer allowing customers to have full control of their pallets and goods at any one time.
“Importantly, it will facilitate the best service possible by incorporating our haulage division and warehousing groupage within the Pallet-Track network.”
The new warehouse, which took 12 months to renovate, incorporates several sustainable features, including full solar panels on the roof which provide self-generating electricity.
Electric forklifts will help move the 2,500 pallets, which can be stored inside, supported by LED movement sensor lighting.
Five new jobs have been created as part of the investment, with longer-term plans for growth on the site.
The space will be part of the UK Warehousing Association and will be BRC accredited, meaning that efficient systems had to be implemented to connect the haulage and warehousing divisions.
Stuart Godman, Pallet-Track, chief executive, said: “We congratulate Lukasz and the Celkom team on their continued success, which is driving significant growth for their business and the Pallet-Track network.
“As an agile and customer-focused business, we are immensely proud to work with Celkom to provide their customers with a high-quality service, driven by our network and supported with real-time updates through our tracking software.
“Celkom’s investment in sustainable features, such as solar panels and electric forklifts, futureproofs the business and aligns closely with Pallet-Track’s own commitment to carbon neutrality, after becoming a Carbon Certified Business in 2024.”
