SAICA Pack, the corrugated packaging division of The Saica Group, has officially opened a new warehouse in Hartlepool.
The new warehouse will expand Saica Pack’s operations whilst also sustainably developing various packing solutions to meet the growing service demands of its varied client base nationwide.
Designed to support both current operations and future growth, the new facility in Hartlepool significantly enhances Saica’s operational capacity – accommodating up to 9,000 pallets, more than double the average capacity of comparable warehouses in the region which typically house 4,250.
This expanded capability strengthens the site’s role as a strategic hub for Saica Pack, enabling increased flexibility and efficiency in handling both sheet and converted corrugated products.
The warehouse has also successfully delivered on its sustainability commitments through the integration of renewable energy solutions. The facility incorporates solar panels capable of generating up to 10% of the plant’s total energy requirements, helping to reduce the carbon footprint of operations.
The facility also incorporates dedicated space for the logistics team, alongside a designated rest area for drivers, improving day-to-day operations and supporting a more efficient and well-coordinated working environment.
Riccardo Tonelli, regional director, Saica Pack Northeast, said, “We’re delighted to see our Hartlepool facility now fully operational, delivered on time and within budget through strong collaboration across our teams and partners.”
