ERIKS has completed a GBP 21M infrastructure investment, headlined by a state-of-the-art fulfilment centre to substantially improve its product range along with the speed and accuracy of supply.
Following 18 months of development and testing, ERIKS’ new Fulfilment Centre of Expertise (FCE) in Oldbury is now fully open and operational with its huge 11,000m2 warehouse space backed by one of the most advanced warehouse management systems anywhere in Europe.
It has 21 vertical lifts, more than 400m of high-speed conveyors, sophisticated scanning and weighing systems for every order, and robust Industry 4.0 configured IT infrastructure with real-time monitoring.
While a large part of the GBP 21M investment has been pumped into the FCE, ERIKS has also spent millions of pounds updating its technical services offering, with significant improvements made to its Engineering sites in Cardiff, Southampton, and Chesterfield and its product technology centres in Barnsley and Warrington.
The engineering sites focus on servicing, repairs, and upgrades of the pump, valve, motor, and geared drive equipment as well as providing a base for ERIKS site services teams.
