About the client
Stovax and Gazco are industry leaders in log burners, gas, and electric fires, serving the UK and Europe for over 40 years and operating in over 25 countries.
They specialise in the manufacture of high-quality wood-burning, multi-fuel, gas, and electric stoves, fires, and fireplaces.
The challenge
Due to their exceptional growth, Stovax and Gazco were operating out of seven separate buildings within an industrial estate in Exeter. The scattered setup posed significant operational issues leading to:
Logistical challenges
Inefficiencies in workflow
Increased operational costs
