The original National Distribution Centre, located at the Sales and Service centre in Leeds, has been re-launched as an upgraded local branch and will retain its busy trade counter.

Speaking of the new installation, Stephen Wright, Thorite Managing Director said, " The decision to create a new, state of the art, National Distribution Centre at our head office reflects the Thorite determination, not only to provide the widest range of pneumatic and fluid process products and systems available, but also to supply them as rapidly as possible.
It represents a major step forward in our medium term expansion strategy and should prove a boon to our customers, whatever their location.".
