Our UK Supply Chain comprises two main sites,the Cotes Park manufacturing site, and the Amber Park distribution centre. Cotes Park was commissioned in 1996,and occupies a 16 acre site 3 miles from J28 of the M1 in Derbyshire.
The site produces approx 85,000 tonnes of packed liquids and powders,making it the largest Diversey factory in Europe, and a strategic manufacturing base within our European Supply Chain network.
Manufacturing is carried out mainly for the UK market, although we do export production to mainland Europe and the Middle East. The factory is operated to a high level of automation, with a distributed control system (DCS) managing batch production on a 24-hr day basis. Products are packed into a wide variety of pack size and type from 1.5 litre pouches to bulk road tankers. |
The Amber Park distribution centre was completed at the end of 1999 and occupies a 12.5 acre site also near to J28 of the M1. The building has a footprint of 1700m2, with in excess of 18,000 pallet spaces holding over 700 chemical products.
The warehouse processes over 280 chemical orders and 200 equipment spares orders per day. There are 16 loading docks plus 2 external doors for loading and unloading. Goods Inwards receive 170 deliveries on average per week which equates to 2,700 pallets.
Both the Factory and Warehouse are ISO9001 and 14001 certified, with sound quality, safety and environmental process and practices forming an essential part of our operation.
