Daikin has announced the opening and commencement of outbound deliveries from its new Midlands warehouse in Daventry, in partnership with its logistics partner GXO. Located in the heart of the U.K. logistics "golden triangle" in the Midlands, Daikin, together with GXO, one of the U.K. and Ireland's leading logistics and transportation partners, have jointly invested over PS4 million to consolidate their operations into one facility. The move provides a future-ready fit out of a 240,000-square-foot warehouse that will exclusively serve Daikin in the U.K. for all products and spares.

The full transition from the current operation to the new warehouse will happen during the course of this year, providing over 75 new jobs for the local community. The Daventry warehouse provides Daikin the ability to scale up its operations, moving from several GXO Direct shared user warehouse sites, into one consolidated site. This relocation will support Daikin's growth for many years to come and allow for future products to be smoothly delivered into the U.K. market.

This development will increase the agility of Daikin's U.K. delivery operations, ensuring a better customer and client experience and improving product availability. GXO Direct offers scalable and flexible solutions to support businesses that need the agility and other benefits that shared warehousing offers. Having worked with Daikin for more than 17 years in the U.K., Ireland and Italy, GXO continues to provide the flexible space and tailored solutions that are advantageous for the heating, cooling and ventilation sector.
