Granarolo UK, a subsidiary of Granarolo S.p.A, Italy, is excited to announce the construction of a new state-of-the-art head office and distribution centre in Willenhall, West Midlands, backed by a significant £10 million investment. The site will also be used by subsidiary Midland Chilled Foods, a leading food wholesaler. The investment comes in the wake of a fire in 2023 that necessitated this transformative project and will provide a larger footprint for expansion and future development. 

Designed to enhance operational efficiency and improve customer engagement, the new facility will feature advanced frozen, chilled, and ambient storage and distribution capabilities, boasting space for over 4,500 pallets. The facility will also include modern office spaces for our team as well as a dedicated New Product Development (NPD) and test kitchen. This kitchen will serve as an innovative hub for customer presentations and collaborations. 

“We are thrilled to unveil our plans for this new facility, which underscores our commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability,” said Anthony Bosco, CEO, of Granarolo UK. “This investment not only propels our operational capabilities forward but also allows us to better serve our clients and engage with them in meaningful ways.” 

Sustainability is at the core of the new development, with various environmental initiatives integrated into the construction. Notably, the installation of solar panels is projected to reduce the company’s carbon dioxide emissions by over 50 tonnes each year, reflecting our commitment to a greener future. 

The new head office is set to open in Q4 of 2025, with built-in flexibility for future expansion to accommodate growing business needs. 

Granarolo looks forward to this exciting new chapter and is eager to continue delivering exceptional service and products to our valued customers.
