Transport planning
The UK drinks industry has a demand of seven billion glass containers a year. These bottles are produced by companies such as Quinn Glass, which operates two of the largest furnaces and one of the largest automated warehouses in Europe located at Elton in Cheshire, England.
Their impressive £325 million, 205-acre warehouse is a unique plant in worldwide terms as bottles are manufactured, filled, labelled, packed, stored and distributed from a single site, with a capacity in excess of 1.2 billion glass containers a year.
