McArdle Skeath 12,500 sq.m Dublin Warehouse Opening

Principal Logistics Technologies Attends Client McArdle Skeath Warehouse Opening

Principal Logistics Technologies’ Managing Director, Peter Flanagan and Sales Director, Joe O’Shea met with Micheál McArdle, McArdle Skeath CEO, at the recent official opening of McArdle Skeath’s new 12,500 sq. metres. warehouse in Hollystown, Dublin. The €20m facility doubles the size of the company’s existing warehouse and enables diversification into temperature-controlled storage for Pharmaceutical & Nutrition and Biotech products.

The facility represents a move into temperature management storage solutions as pharmaceutical products require strict temperature integrity between +2°C to +8°C (cold chain), +5°C to +25°C (ambient monitored) and +15°C to +25°C (ambient controlled) as dictated by the Health Products Regulatory Authority (HRA). The building and equipment is specifically designed for this and it also ensures full redundancy. Interestingly, it employs a 9-high pallet system – one of the tallest employed in any warehouse.

The opening has created 20 new jobs, with an additional 80 planned, as the company expands in areas including Lean Manufacturing Operations, Repackaging, Rebranding, Quality Assurance Inspections and Sampling.  An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar congratulated the company on its 50^th year of operation commenting, “I know McArdle Skeath pride themselves on exceeding the highest standards, and I have no doubt they will take the same approach to success with this new facility. I wish all the staff and management the very best of luck.”

“We are delighted McArdle Skeath has deployed Principal Logistics Technologies’ ProWMS to manage this state-of-the-art facility and would like to congratulate, and wish the best of luck to, the McArdle family and all McArdle employees” Joe O’Shea, Sales Director, Principal Logistics Technologies.
