Argos chooses Multibeam

Kingspan Metl-Con has supplied over 300 tonnes of Multibeam purlin and rail products for a regional distribution centre for retail giant Argos.

The 72,800m² centre will serve Argos’s entire store network and direct sales operations across northern England, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Multibeam’s high strength to weight ratio and long spanning capabilities contributed to a construction time for the structural frame of only eight weeks, said Kingspan Metl-Con Marketing Manager John Williams. Steelwork contractor for the project is Atlas Ward Structures and main contractor is Bowmer & Kirkland.
