“With warehousing as well as a showroom and offices for dedicated accounts and sales teams, our new facility will become a beacon for spreading the messages of our value- driven brands.”
The news of the new warehouse comes at the same time as the announcement of the opening of a new train connection, dubbed ‘New Silk Road’, between China and Europe. F&X Carpets will be using this
new rail service to greatly speed up transport times of carpets to the UK. The manufacturer will send a fully- loaded train carrying 42-containers of product from its manufacturing plant in Xining to its Belgian warehouse, before distributing some of these to the new UK facility.
F&X Carpets are exhibiting on Stand M14/28, The Flooring Show, Harrogate, 18-20th September.
