At its Blackburn plant -one of over 50 sites in operation across Europe - RPC produces a range of injection-moulded and injection blow-moulded containers that are used to store products as diverse as chocolate, paint, fresh soup and ready meal snacks. In addition to a state-of-the-art manufacturing unit, the Blackburn site also features two storage facilities: one houses products that are at the 'work in progress' stage, while the other is used to store finished goods. Due to previous growth, finished goods were held off-site but RPC's acquisition of a competitor prompted a rethink of the intralogistics processes at Blackburn and it was decided that the company's needs would be better met by the construction of a new warehouse unit within the boundaries of the main site.
