Carlsberg Britvic is set to become one of the first companies to open a depot at the new £2bn West Midlands Interchange (WMI) national logistics hub off junction 12 of the M6.
The drinks manufacturer is investing £4m in the construction of a distribution facility at the site, with the 222,000 sq. ft unit set to be completed towards the end of 2026. It is only 10 miles from the current Carlsberg Britvic depot in Wolverhampton, which it will replace once built.
“This investment underscores our long-term commitment to strengthening our operations and enhancing service to our customers,” said Paul Davies, CEO of Carlsberg Britvic.
“The new facility will be a massive investment in the region, providing a new base for our depot team in Wolverhampton. The West Midlands Interchange provides an ideal location for our new depot, enabling us to future-proof our logistics infrastructure and build for sustainable growth.”
The move comes six months after Carlsberg completed its £3.3bn acquisition of Britvic.
