The new site houses a modern office space as well as manufacturing and warehousing facilities
Provider of labelling and auto-identification solutions for the UK retail, food and drink, industrial and healthcare sectors, Sato UK has invested £7 million in a new production facility adjacent to its existing site in Harwich, UK.
At 35,000sqft, the new site houses a modern office space for the company’s customer service, purchasing and logistics teams, as well as manufacturing and warehousing facilities.
The production floor is now a temperature and humidity controlled cleanroom with a positive pressure to minimise contaminants. A waste management system has been installed to further improve productivity and reduce the environmental footprint.
Jason Wise, general manager, said, ‘Sato has seen significant expansion in its hardware and consumables sales in recent years and this investment reflects our commitment to further growth in the UK. We have over 80 employees here in Harwich and are delighted that we can now offer them a contemporary up to date working environment, as well as facilitate our further manufacturing growth to be a trusted partner addressing the diverse tagging needs of customers.’
Sato serves a range of customers with hardware and software solutions, combined with a label and consumables portfolio, to connect people, goods and information. The company works with a range of partners in the UK to supply the print and label solutions driving operational efficiency and sustainability for clients.
