Hörmann's shelter wall system hits the mark
January 26th 2009 Hörmann UK’s revolutionary design of shelter wall has been installed at a new 525,000 sq ft warehouse and distribution facility in Corby.
The 28 acre Mitchell Road site was funded by The UK Logistics Fund and jointly developed with Rugby based Greatline Developments ltd. The UK Logistics Fund is the UK’s largest Distribution Warehouse fund and a joint venture between Hermes Real Estate and Legal & General Property.
Corby was identified as an important emerging location within the distribution warehousing industry because of good labour availability and a location that provides easy access to various major motorways and all of the east coast ports.
Winvic Construction was brought on board as the main contractor to carry out the construction of the site and when deciding on which loading bay manufacturer to use, Winvic opted for the quality engineering and service offered by Hörmann UK.
While Winvic has specified Hörmann’s loading bay equipment in the past, this project marks the first time that the construction firm has agreed to have Hörmann’s unique design of precast dock and shelter wall installed.
