News: Redirack ready to grow with RGF
Redirack, the Rotherham based pallet racking and mezzanine floor manufacturer, will use funding from the government's Regional Growth Fund (RGF) in the development of a new concept for the logistics market.
RediLogX will provide customers with an automated system to control the throughput and storage of high value and perishable goods whilst saving significant operating costs and improving carbon footprint impact.
Redirack will be working with world renowned organisations, such as The Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), Sheffield Hallam University, and The Welding Institute (TWI) to develop a unique, automated stock management warehouse solution to secure supply and provide scientifically enhanced systems and management information for customers.
Andrew Forsythe, managing director of RediRack, said: "We are very excited about our ability to innovate and believe this is the springboard for us to revolutionise the intra-logistics and associated industries."
The RediLogX system was recently used on a project for Fredericks Dairies, as they needed to expand but more traditional systems could not accommodate the 13,000 pallets they needed in the warehouse they had. Redirack's solution involved an automated pallet storage, retrieval and sequencing system that meant that all but 5% of the warehouse was utilised with floor to ceiling storage. It also meant that running costs were significantly reduced.
Redirack has an 100,000 sq ft manufacturing plant in Kilnhurst and has over 70 employees. Established in 1973, they underwent a management buy out from its former owners, the Norwegian based multinational Dexion Group Limited, in 2004.
Since the takeover, Redirack has expanded its headquarters in Mexborough to accommodate the growing demand for its mezzanine floor product, Redifloor.
The firm enjoyed a turnover of £11m for 2011.
