Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, Corteco Ltd and Auto Suppliers move

Three sites to operate out of one warehouse

Freudenberg Sealing Technologies, Corteco Ltd and Auto Suppliers move
As a member of the global Freudenberg Group, Corteco supplies over 20,000 products in OEM quality.

For several years, Corteco Ltd, Freudenberg General Industries and Auto Suppliers Limited (ASL) have been operating out of separate sites across the United Kingdom while providing the industry with quality parts for their customers across different market segments.

Earlier in 2018, a new site was acquired to rehouse all three companies in one unit.

The site is located in the historic market town of Rugby which provides access to major roads such as the M6, M1 and the A5 allowing all three entities to be able to service its customers more effectively.

From the 31st July, General Industries from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies will be moving from their current site in Lutterworth.

They will be followed shortly by Corteco Ltd, also currently based in Lutterworth, and ASL who are currently based in Kidderminster.

The move will allowing the three sites to operate out of one warehouse, allowing all sectors to be serviced from one location.

The new building will consist a larger warehousing unit, which will store all products across the three companies, a new purpose built canteen allowing all staff members to be fully integrated under one roof, a new full-equipped boardroom and an open plan office for all employees on the first floor.

The new site will help to modernise the working environment while allowing employees to share knowledge and expertise as well as creating a more socially positive working environment.

The move co-insides with a technical move to SAP.
