Europa Warehouse is investing £11 million to implement automation systems at its 715,000 sq ft third-party logistics site in Corby. 

Europa is working with psb intralogistics GmbH to implement the new technology.

The family business based in Pirmasens, Germany, is a provider of innovative automation solutions which are tailored to customer business requirements.

Europa completed the £60 million facility last year, and is now nearing the next stage of evolution at the site, with a major investment into automated systems.

The new automation includes the use of Goods-to-Person technology to eliminate time consuming and unproductive activities

These new efficiencies include the use of an Automated Storage and Retrieval System which will allow Europa to pick 136,000 bottles per day, enabling the 3pl experts to handle a capacity of circa fifty million bottles per annum. 

Maria Torrent March, Europa Warehouse’s Logistics Director, said: “Automation will allow Europa Warehouse to provide a streamlined service, giving us the ability to better plan and predict the flow of goods, assisting our customers in the ever-growing demand for e-commerce and support the developing consumer trend of next day deliveries.”
