Droitwich-based food ingredients logistics company, Atchison Topeka, is pleased to announce it has secured a significant contract with the UK's leading biscuit manufacturer, McVities.

McVities have been making biscuits across Europe for nearly two centuries and hold leading positions in UK, Belgium, France, Ireland and the Netherlands. The new contract involves the storage and distribution of egg powder to factories in Aintree, Halifax, Manchester and Glasgow.

Atchison Topeka operates in a niche market offering a 'food ingredients network' providing tailored supply chain solutions for many of the major food manufacturing centres and ingredients providers in the UK. Lots of Atchison Topeka's customers are now reaping significant benefits in terms of cost savings by utilising a shared user logistics network.

The company has recently made a significant investment in providing a warehousing facility with 20,000 pallet spaces; a state-of-the art distribution fleet; all underpinned by its recent BRC (British Retail Consortium Storage and Distribution) accreditation.

Atchison Topeka's Sales Manager, Scott Waters said:"We're delighted to be working for such a prestigious brand as McVities which is affirmation that our recent investments are beginning to pay dividends."

"Food safety is a critical element for the supply chain when handling food ingredients and our BRC accreditation demonstrates our ability to achieve this. In addition, there are significant commercial benefits by consolidating loads or pallet groupage into manufacturing sites on a just in time supply."
