GA Pet Food Partners acquires distribution warehouse
 |
GA Pet Food Partners, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of pet food, has opened a huge distribution centre in Lancashire.
The company, which manufactures own label, dried pet food for more than 350 retailers in 40 countries worldwide, has acquired R2 Revolution Park, on Buckshaw Village, Chorley.
The unit, on 9.3 acres of land, includes a warehouse and three floors of office accommodation for the business which will run its distribution facility from the unit.
GA Pet Food Partners, which now has 300 staff, previously leased the site but has now purchased it for an undisclosed sum from a Jersey-based property fund. It has consolidated five separate warehousing facilities into its new centre.
In addition to the Chorley base, it operates a manufacturing site in Bretherton, near Leyland, and is headquartered in Tarleton, Preston.
The commercial property team at Lancashire law firm Napthens advised GA Pet Food Partners on the deal.
Partner Allan Sumner said: "This is a significant site which will allow GA Pet Food Partners to cement its place as one of the leaders in the pet food manufacturing sector."
Roger Bracewell, chairman of GA Pet Food Partners, added: "This was a unique opportunity to purchase an exceptional, modern warehouse that has enabled us to consolidate our business and provide improved levels of service for customers."
