About Alloga

Alloga UK offers specialist storage, fulfilment and distribution services to pharmaceutical, healthcare, medical device, veterinary and consumer product manufacturing companies.

The Challenge

Increasing volumes of sales in recent years had prompted Alloga to build a sixth business unit at its distribution facility at Castlewood Business Park in Mansfield. The new warehouse, Amber Park 6, would significantly improve Alloga’s distribution capacity and provide much needed office space. In total there would be 50 people employed at the site.

In view of the amount and value of stock to be held at the new site, it was vital that Alloga build robust fire protection in to its fit out plans.

Alloga had worked with A & F Sprinklers in the past and was confident in appointing the team to oversee the design and installation of the new warehouse’s sprinkler system.

The Solution

Over a period of 15 weeks, A & F Sprinklers delivered sprinkler protection to the warehouse roof, cut-offs over office doors and twin water supplies. An integral part of the project team, A & F Sprinklers ensured the protection it provided met all Alloga’s technical and practical requirements.
