“Our expansion into Belgium forms part of our strategic growth plans and our commitment to becoming the market leader in our industry.”

Only last month the company announced a move into larger premises in West Drayton, Middlesex and the addition of the Belgium plant now sees Flowstore boast increased manufacturing and storage facilities across both sites.  

As part of the company’s plans, the opening of the Belgium facility will enable the Flowstore business to service one of its most established clients, in eCommerce, also located in the country along with other aerospace and automotive manufacturing customers

Providing material handling and storage facilities for some of the largest brands in the world – including BOL.com, BMW, Rolls Royce, BAE Systems, Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin – Flowstore incorporates some of the most advanced tech into its business solutions which, very recently, included the introduction of autonomous mobile robot integration into its UK facility.
