Bentley begins construction of Integrated Logistics Centre
Bentley Motors has officially broken ground on its new Integrated Logistics Centre at its historic Crewe headquarters, marking a crucial step in preparing for the luxury marque’s all-electric future.
Designed to enhance operational efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability, the facility will support the production of all future Bentley BEVs, while reinforcing the brand’s commitment to its Beyond100+ strategy.
The 11,620m² centre will support material processing and delivery to assembly lines, introducing advanced kitting and sequencing capabilities to optimise the handling of both small and large parts. By increasing the onsite storage footprint by 35%, Bentley will reduce reliance on external warehousing and transportation.
For the first time in the Volkswagen Group, Bentley will implement a cutting-edge automated storage concept – an innovative storage and retrieval system that enhances process stability and improves material sequencing.
The facility has been designed with efficiency and flexibility in mind, to ensure seamless logistics operations, with a direct connectivity to production operations. Inside, a three-storey mezzanine will house: a visitor room, canteen, offices, training rooms, plant equipment and a viewing platform for operational oversight.
Andreas Lehe, Bentley’s member of the board for manufacturing, said: “Breaking ground on the Integrated Logistics Centre marks a key milestone in Bentley’s journey to full electrification. The centre will transform our logistics operations by enhancing efficiency, managing customer variety, and integrating cutting-edge automation. This investment ensures that Bentley can offer an all-electric portfolio while maintaining the highest standards of quality and sustainability.”
Set to be fully operational by mid-2026, the Integrated Logistics Centre will play a vital role in Bentley’s transition to becoming exclusively electric by 2035.
