Downton wins new contract
15th February 2018
Rockfon, a leading supplier of acoustic stone wool ceiling and wall products, has awarded a new warehousing and distribution contract to Gloucestershire-based transport specialist CM Downton.
Downton has been working with Rockfon's parent company, Rockwool International, the world's largest producer of stone wool products, for more than a year, delivering its range of insulation products to customers throughout the UK. The company was invited to tender for the new contract because of its success with the Rockwool contract.
Downton will manage the new contract from its facility in Runcorn. The warehousing component will provide around 3000 pallet capacity for products received from Rockfon's manufacturing plants in Europe. Around 40 orders a week are picked and delivered in response to customer requirements. Downton is delivering these orders to Rockfon's specialist customer base in the UK and Ireland.
During the transition, Downton managed the transfer of stock from the previous operator's facility in Cannock to its own site in Runcorn.
David Hutchings, head of business development at CM Downton, said: "Through our existing transport operation with Rockwool, the company saw that we were a reliable and strong partner. We devised a highly efficient solution that manages the entire storage and transport process from initial receipt of products to final delivery to Rockfon's customers. It is another example of how we can work with customers to meet their business requirement, manage a seamless transition and build a strong relationship."
