Tom Gowans Managing Director, explains, âWe kicked off the demand-driven logistic project in April 2013, knowing that we would need to invest to realise our vision. Our group financial backing has allowed us to invest despite the challenging climate in key sectors. We had a choice, invest or stagnate, so we modernised. The new plant came on line first quarter on 2016.â? The new KASTO system is the tallest in the UK. With an average picking time of 6mins, orders can be picked and despatched the same day.
