AN Antrim-based manufacturer has invested £700,000 in its logistic department in response to continued growth.
Camden Group, which specialises in the manufacturing of double-glazed windows, doors and panels, has added seven new Volvo lorries to its fleet to allow for greater loads to be carried.
The latest investment brings the Camden Group’s fleet up to 20 lorries, with plans to invest more over in the future.
Camden spokesperson, Seamus Lavery said : “This is a significant expenditure for Camden, but it makes good economic sense.
“We expect a good return on investment through the savings we will be able to make on fuel costs, as the new lorries are fitted with a ‘long haul fuel package’. This enables the vehicles to run in far more environmentally friendly way with lower C02 emissions. The lorries are also fitted with ‘Dynafleet’ technology which enables Camden to track their vehicles precisely in order to reach better profitability by analysing the mileage on the trips."
The new Volvo vehicles are now on the road delivering windows and doors around the UK and are also bringing back old window frames to Camden’s on-site recycling plant, ready to be made into new products.
More vehicles will be added to the growing fleet as the company continues to expand, delivering a fast-efficient service to the customers.
