Electrolux Professional has increased the volume of core commercial laundry equipment held in the UK, to negate the impact of a possible ‘no deal’ Brexit on importing products from its European production facilities.
The manufacturer will now hold up to an extra four weeks’ worth of stock from its core product range at a dedicated UK warehousing facility. Electrolux Professional’s core laundry product range covers its portfolio of commercial washing, drying and ironing equipment, as well as myPRO light commercial laundry equipment. The company has also arranged contingency logistics support in the event of a ‘no deal’ Brexit.
Darren Lockley, Head of Region at Electrolux Professional UK & Ireland, commented: “In the absence of a finalised Withdrawal Agreement from the EU, the company has taken steps to increase the volume of products held in the UK, to negate the effect of an anticipated increase in import times following 29 March.
“We are well aware that if a critical piece of laundry equipment needs to be repaired, our customers need that product replaced as quickly as possible. By increasing the volume of stock we hold in the UK, we can ensure that any delay in importing products from our factories across Europe from late-March onwards, will not be felt by our customers.”
