Located in Worcester, the new facility is the most advanced Kohler distribution centre globally.
Having been developed by a dedicated team for over two years, the centre forms part of the business' centenary year celebrations. The automated 150,000 sq ft building has the capacity for over 10,000 pallets, and will allow the brand to process orders three times faster.
Having also been designed with sustainability in mind, the centre has been recognised with a Carbon Reduction Award by the Bathroom Manufacturers Association, and has received an accreditation from BREEAM Official for its sustainability performance.
To ensure associate wellbeing remains in focus, a dedicated relaxation area also ensures staff have a space to relax in throughout their working day.
Built on an 11.25-acre site, the facility has room to grow and expand as the business, channels, and customer requirements evolve.
