Warehouse equipment supplier Palletower has acquired Leeds-based Alternative Storage Systems, continuing a rapid expansion strategy that has seen five acquisitions in the racking and shelving sector over the past eight months.
The move follows its recent purchase of Kingstonian Storage and Equipment and strengthens Palletower’s presence across the North and East of England. Alternative Storage Systems designs, installs, and maintains storage solutions for warehouses and commercial units, with a strong foothold in the warehousing and food production sectors.
Palletower, based in Sale, supplies more than 100 lines of logistics and storage equipment and exports to over 35 countries. The company’s recent acquisition drive is pushing annual turnover from more than £40m towards £50m, with staffing levels now exceeding 70.
The firm’s strategy focuses on broadening its industrial racking, shelving, and warehouse fit-out services across the UK, adding to a customer base that includes major players such as Waitrose, Walmart, and DHL.
