Support for Mills Entering the UK Market
Overseas paper and board mills looking to enter or grow in the UK market can use our Kent facility as a ready-made distribution hub. We take mill stock into storage, convert it to UK customer specifications where needed, and handle the pick-pack-dispatch operation to end customers across the UK and Ireland.
Store Your Stock
Mill parent reels, sheet pallets and finished stock held in our Kent warehouse — available to UK customers without the lead time and cost of importing from overseas on a per-order basis.
Convert Your Stock
Parent reels sheeted, slit, rewound or rewrapped to UK customer formats on site. Mills extend their product reach into the UK without needing a UK conversion operation of their own.
UK Distribution Hub
We handle goods-in, storage, pick-pack, dispatch and customer service for mills' UK business — giving them a responsive local presence without the overhead of setting one up.
Warehouse Capabilities
A closer look at the infrastructure and services that underpin our warehousing operation.
Storage Facilities
Our purpose-built warehousing in Kent provides dedicated racking, block-stacking and open high-roof bays for a wide range of goods. Concrete floors, covered loading bays and controlled ventilation protect stored products from moisture and damage. Stock is organised by customer and delivery schedule, enabling rapid picking and efficient use of the full up-to-9,500 tonne capacity. The site suits everything from palletised paper and board to imported goods, industrial components and bulky or irregular items.
Inventory Management
Every item entering our warehouse is logged, tracked and monitored through our stock management system. We provide customers with regular stock reports, manage minimum and maximum holding levels, and coordinate replenishment orders with global mills on your behalf. This hands-off approach means you can focus on production while we ensure the right grades are always available in the right quantities. Over 50 years of experience in the paper trade means we understand seasonal demand cycles and can plan stockholding accordingly.
Distribution Network
From our Kent base we operate a distribution network covering the entire UK mainland and Ireland. Deliveries are planned and routed for efficiency, with the flexibility to handle both full articulated loads and smaller part-load consignments. Our logistics team works closely with haulage partners to maintain a dependable schedule, and every vehicle is tracked so you know exactly when your delivery will arrive. For customers with multiple sites, we coordinate split deliveries to ensure each location receives exactly what it needs.
Order Fulfilment
When you place an order, our warehouse team picks, checks and dispatches your goods with precision. Whether the requirement is for converted sheets cut to specification, full reels direct from stock or a mixed consignment combining several grades, we handle the preparation and loading to get it right first time. Orders placed before our daily cut-off are typically dispatched same day or next day, depending on destination and load requirements.
Delivery Coverage
Reliable distribution wherever you need it, from single-site manufacturers to multi-location operations.
UK Mainland
We deliver to all regions of mainland England, Scotland and Wales. Standard lead times are typically one to three working days depending on distance and load size, with next-day service available for many south-east and midlands destinations. Regular delivery runs to key industrial areas mean we can offer competitive rates and consistent schedules for customers with ongoing supply requirements.
Ireland
Scalderhurst has long-established logistics routes to both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. We manage the cross-channel logistics for you, with consolidated loads shipped weekly to keep costs efficient and supply dependable for our Irish customers.
Scheduled & Ad-Hoc Deliveries
For customers with predictable consumption, we arrange regular scheduled deliveries aligned to your production calendar. This call-off approach reduces your on-site storage burden and ensures stock arrives precisely when needed. For urgent or one-off requirements, our ad-hoc delivery service can respond quickly with part-load or express consignments to keep your lines running.
Tracked Consignments
Every delivery leaving our warehouse is tracked from dispatch to arrival. Our logistics team provides proof of delivery and can give you real-time updates on consignment status. For time-critical deliveries, we offer direct communication with the driver to coordinate arrival windows and ensure smooth goods-in at your premises.
A UK Distribution Hub
While paper and board is our heritage, our warehousing and logistics operation is open to any business that needs flexible UK storage and distribution. Over the years we've stored everything from phone boxes to train seats — and we actively welcome enquiries from any sector.
Entry Point for Imported Goods
Our Kent location makes us an ideal landing point for goods arriving into the UK. We handle intake, storage and onward distribution for importers and distributors who need dependable south-east capacity without running their own facility.
Store and Redistribute
We don't just hold stock — we pick, pack and deliver it where it needs to go. Whether you need us to hold inventory and fulfil orders on your behalf, or consolidate loads for multi-site delivery, we manage the logistics end to end.
High-Roof & Flexible Space
Our warehousing includes high-roof bays suited to oversized, awkward or bulky goods that don't fit a standard racked system. If you've got something unusual to store, talk to us.
Short-Term or Long-Term
We handle one-off projects and long-term storage agreements alike, with the same attention to inventory, security and dispatch accuracy across every account.
