Since June 23rd, 2016, Brexit has been a permanent feature in the news. At the time, a narrow majority of British voters opted to leave the EU. The effects were and are far-reaching – especially for companies with such close economic ties to the United Kingdom \u2013 including the bilstein group with its febi brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some competitors withdrew from the British market\nafter the referendum, the bilstein group is still present. The company saw\nBrexit as an opportunity and invested in the region and in the supply processes\nfor its customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, a 19,000 square metre logistics centre was opened\nin Markham Vale which is located in the heart of England. More than 50,000\ndifferent replacement parts are currently stored there \u2013 which is conveniently\nnear major cities of Sheffield and Nottingham \u2013 and are shipped daily to all\ncorners of the United Kingdom. On peak days, this means that more than 2,200\nparcels and over 800 dispatch modules are picked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sophisticated Storage Technology<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This requires sophisticated storage technology, which is provided in England (as is the case in Ennepetal, Germany) by the logistics specialist, Witron. The raw numbers alone are impressive: The automated warehouse has over 215,000 container storage locations spread over twelve aisles that stretch metres high. There is also a pallet warehouse with more than 10,000 storage locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that the bilstein group is well positioned when\nGreat Britain finally leaves the EU. But when the time comes will still be in\nthe stars in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
