Clevtec unveils efficient new UK warehouse
19 December 2016
Clevtec’s new 15,000 square foot (approximately 1,393m2) warehouse is now fully operational. The new facility allows the UK manufacturer to streamline processes and enhance service provision to OEM and distributor customers throughout the UK and Europe.
Ideally located in Wednesbury, West Midlands, at the heart of the UK’s motorway system, the new facility incorporates on-site packaging for bulk and small
packs, optical sorting machines and extensive stockholding.
Clevtec is a trading arm of Clevedon Fasteners and, together, the companies have built a reputation of excellence in the manufacture of cold forged and
threaded fasteners, including self-clinching studs, weld bolts, as well as solid, semi tubular and self-piercing rivets. These fasteners are available
in a variety of materials including steel, stainless steel, brass and aluminium.
Clevtec also manufactures the trademarked Bolt Lok™, which is available in truss, brazier and countersunk head styles and includes 12 products covering
grip ranges from 1.6mm to 22.2mm.
Clevtec and Clevedon are building a growing reputation for supplying bespoke, cost-effective fastening application solutions and have overcome many technical
challenges in terms of product performance and precision engineering.
Clevtec supplies a diverse range of OEM and distributors throughout the UK and Europe. This new investment was prompted by the growing needs of its customer
base and comes on the back of earlier investments in additional machinery and testing facilities.
“Customer satisfaction is at the heart of our operation and this new warehouse allows us to improve our service and provide ex-stock delivery on 70% of
the products in our range,” commented Managing Director Steve Hardeman. “It is a credit to our dedicated team that we moved 600 pallets, requiring
20 articulated truck deliveries, containing 70 million parts covering over 1,200 product lines, in just three days.”
