Van Guard Announces Expansion into New Site at Greendale Business Park
Van Guard, the leading manufacturer of commercial van storage and security products, has announced its expansion into a new facility at Greendale Business Park. The move sees the company increase its operational footprint to 19,730 sq. ft providing much-needed space to continue its growth, improve operational efficiency, and enhance customer service capabilities.
Van Guard, which has been based at its current premises at Exeter Airport since 1976, is widely recognised for its innovative and high-quality van storage and security solutions. The new unit at Greendale Business Park site now houses the company’s fulfilment, locks production and customer service teams, allowing for a more streamlined and efficient working environment. Their relocation also frees up valuable space at the existing manufacturing facility, creating an opportunity to invest further in machinery, increase stock levels and improve order processing capabilities for UK and export customers.
“This expansion represents a significant milestone for Van Guard,” said Ashley Pym, Head of Operations at Van Guard. “We’re excited about the opportunities this new site provides for us as a business. Not only is it enabling us to work more efficiently, but it also allows us to better serve our customers by freeing up space for increased stock levels. The move also creates more space for new product development and further innovation, all of which will allow us to continue delivering high-quality products and services our customers expect from us.”
The expansion is a key part of Van Guard’s long-term strategy to scale operations and remain a leader in the van storage and security industry. By improving operational space, the company plans to accelerate the development of new products and enhance testing capabilities to meet the growing demand in the commercial van market.
“Moving to Greendale Business Park gives us the flexibility we need to stay ahead of market trends,” said Emlyn Harris, Managing Director. “We are committed to continuous improvement, and this new site will play an integral role in helping us achieve our goals while still maintaining our promise to deliver products to our customers the next day. It’s a very exciting time for Van Guard and we look forward to what the future holds.”
