Esko has opened a brand new UK warehouse to bring faster direct shipping to its customers in the country.

Based at Solihull’s Rhodium Blythe Valley Park, the new Esko facility is dedicated entirely to the company’s UK customer base, housing consumables for online sales, parts, engineers and servicing.

Specifically, the new warehouse will stock parts and components for the Esko range of Kongsberg digital finishing tables and CDI platemaking machines.

Varun Mehta, e-commerce business development manager at Esko, explained that as well as ensuring consistency of service across the country, the move would also see the introduction of faster delivery to customers – and free delivery.

‘This significant move has been months in the planning and we’re all thrilled to have been able to complete the set-up and get all the systems live in such good time. This is a dedicated 24/7 facility to support our UK customers and provides improved access to our experts.’

Mr Mehta continued, ‘Customers can now place their orders through the Esko online store and receive parts either next- or same-day, with free shipping through our voucher scheme. What’s more, while having a fully stocked warehouse in the UK has allowed us to speed-up shipping times, it has also enabled us to reduce our prices on consumables. The new facility therefore brings the three-pronged benefit of assuring quality and consistency of service, with faster and free shipping at reduced prices.’
