OMEX Invests In Major New Portbury Facility To Support Growth In The West
We have announced a significant investment in a new purpose-built liquid fertiliser distribution facility at Portbury, Bristol, marking a major step in supporting growers across western UK.
Supporting Farmers In The West
The new multi-million-pound facility will triple storage capacity, quadruple load-out capability and provide 24-hour operational support to farmers across the west.
Designed with future growth and speed of service in mind the new site provides eight times daily loading capacity of the existing facility through a combination of increased load-out points and 24-hour operation, offering farmers high-quality liquid fertiliser when they need it most.
The new site also boasts state of the art, innovative technology capable of halving load out times and removing processes to further speed up delivery to farm.
