Tube and pipe distributor Van Leeuwen Wheeler is maintaining its commitment to the UK market by widening its stock ranges, despite escalating prices. Part of the multi-national Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group, Van Leeuwen Wheeler has two major distribution hubs in the UK in Brierley Hill in the West Midlands and Middlesbrough in the North East. A major investment plan currently underway is designed to increase capacity at both facilities to enable both breadth and depth of stock to be increased. Close to completion, investment in Middlesbrough adds 40,000sq/ft of warehousing space bringing a 40% increase in Van Leeuwen capacity including additional cutting capabilities as well as expanded product ranges.
