STORAGE products group Storax has announced a major expansion of its Worcestershire operation.

One of Europe’s largest manufacturers and installers of static storage systems, its Bromsgrove outlet is remaining in the town, but is now in much larger premises in Sherwood Road, Aston Fields. The business has moved to a 9,913 sq ft modern factory on a ten year lease, agreeing terms over the asking rent.

Ian Parker. director of property agents John Truslove, said: “It represents one of the biggest transactions in the area this year. It is a very prominent building featuring quality offices, warehouse and secure yard, with good links to the motorway network.”

Part of Portuguese group Ramada, Storax specialises in the design, installation and maintenance of racking systems. Its range of products covers a wide variety of metal storage structures, from conventional pallet racks and shelving to free-standing buildings. The company’s Powerack and Ranger brands are European leaders in high density storage and are designed especially for cold stores.
