Magnavale has officially opened Magnavale Easton.
The facility has capacity for 101,000 frozen pallets spaces, making it is the largest single cold store ever built in the UK.
This development regenerated a long-standing food production and logistics site near Grantham, Lincolnshire and this state-of-the-art cold storage warehouse will contribute significantly to UK food security, while setting a new benchmark for sustainable food logistics.
As one of, if not the UK’s only fully renewable-energy-powered cold storage facility, Magnavale Easton demonstrates the company’s commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency.
With 101,000 fully automated pallet positions, cutting-edge full automation, and a high-bay, rack-clad storage design, the facility ensures seamless storage and distribution for customers.
“Magnavale Easton is more than just a storage facility; it is a transformative development for the UK’s food supply chain,” said Amanda Cogan, COO of Magnavale.
“By integrating renewable energy, advanced automation, and a comprehensive portfolio of value-added services, we are helping our customers cut cost, risk and complexity from their supply chains and contributing sustainable long-term growth and investment into the local Lincolnshire economy.”
Magnavale Easton is strategically located off the A1, between Grantham and Peterborough, providing seamless distribution access across the UK. The facility is a key part of the larger vision of regeneration of the site into a Food Hub, supporting manufacturers and retailers with end-to-end cold chain solutions.
In addition to its industry-leading automated cold storage capabilities, Magnavale Easton offers a comprehensive suite of value-added services, including blast freezing, contract packing, and much more from the site.
Sadel Group, who owns Magnavale, is pushing the Easton Food Hub project forward as part of its operational real estate development plans. Sadel Group, a Luxembourg based family office, will extend the innovative “Food Hub” model to new sites across the UK and Europe. The Food Hub model integrates food production and processing with the supply chain, reducing cost, risk, and complexity in the food chain.
