Midlands-based material handling
equipment manufacturer, George
Utz, has invested in additional storage
facilities at its Alfreton site, with the
construction of four new silos
holding a total of 800t of bulk raw
material (plastic polymers). The
company’s range includes containers
and inserts, pallets, dollies and pallet
boxes.

Produced by Braby, the 4.5m
diameter silos stand 20m tall and are
manufactured from a high grade
aluminium alloy. They will increase
George Utz’s storage capacity by
130%, eliminating the risk of
inventory shortage and enabling raw
materials to be sourced when market
prices are attractive for projects. These
savings can then be passed on to Utz’s
customers and give the project
partner budget security.
