Teva at ProLogis Glasshoughton

The Requirement

Teva UK, a division of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, decided to move its head office and logistics centre to a new flagship building in West Yorkshire. The company, which is one of the largest generic pharmaceutical companies in the world, needed more space to accommodate its expanding UK business and high quality facilities to provide the best possible customer service.

The Solution

ProLogis acquired a site at Glasshoughton on the junction of the M62 and the A1 trunk road and designed a 262,000 sq ft facility to meet Teva’s precise brief.
The building, which includes 60,000 sq ft of offices, was designed to reflect its UK head office function, while the warehouse was specifically designed for pharmaceutical storage and distribution.
The project included a £6 million generic and specialist fit-out, including dual systems for all environmental controls to provide back-up should any of the equipment fail.
The offices were fully fitted, leaving only the furniture to be provided by Teva. In the warehouse, only the specialist material handling equipment (MHE) was installed by Teva and ProLogis ensured that all systems had a high degree of tolerance to ensure a smooth integration with the MHE installation.

The Result

The project was completed within a tight timescale to allow Teva to test run the facility, ensuring 100% accuracy in product delivery.

"The new site will bring big improvements for our customers, as we finally have the space and facilities to provide the best possible service."
