Abbey Logistics Group has been selected by Tata Chemicals Europe to manage exclusively all bulk transport and logistics for all its products, including sister company British Salt, across the UK.
Tata Chemicals Ltd is one of the world’s leading producers of sodium carbonate (soda ash) and sodium bicarbonate. Sodium carbonate is a key raw material used in glass, detergent and chemical manufacturing. Applications for sodium bicarbonate range from food to pharmaceuticals to air pollution control. In the UK, Tata Chemicals Europe is the sole producer of Soda Ash (sodium carbonate) and the market leading producer of sodium bicarbonate.
Sister company British Salt is the UK’s leading manufacturer of pure dried vacuum salt products. It supplies over half the UK’s pure white salts and other salt products from a self-sufficient, environmentally friendly, and high efficiency manufacturing facility site in Middlewich, Cheshire.
Abbey will provide transport for all products in bulk powder road tankers and distribute them to British Salt and Tata Chemicals Europe customers throughout the UK. Abbey will also take responsibility for transport planning and all on-site logistics services, and work in partnership with Tata Chemicals Europe and British Salt to develop and improve distribution flexibility and reliability to meet cyclical volume demands of individual products.
