Newport Distribution Centre heralds EET Group and Oprema expansion

Posted to News on Thursday, March 27, 2025 Share:

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY solutions distributor EET Group has invested in a state-of-the-art logistics facility in Newport. The new warehouse marks another key milestone in the company’s growth, serving as a central logistics hub in EET’s largest market and supporting EET UK (its local sales office) and Oprema, the EET Group’s UK Centre of Excellence for surveillance and security solutions.

This expansion increases the EET Group’s (and Oprema’s) capacity to meet rising demand, ensuring faster order fulfilment and improved product availability.

Alongside the flexible warehouse space, the facility provides modern office accommodation and supporting administrative functions, while offering enhanced working conditions for on-site employees.

More than just a Distribution Centre, the facility is designed with sustainability at its heart. Featuring 15% roof lights for natural illumination and PV solar panels, the building has been awarded an EPC A+ rating: the highest grade on the Energy Performance Certificate scale.

Logistics excellence

Bjarke Roost, chief logistics officer at the EET Group, commented: “At the EET Group, logistics excellence is at the core of our business. The Newport Distribution Centre is testament to our ongoing commitment to growth, efficiency and customer service and we’re looking forward to expanding our capabilities in such a strategically important location.”

Søren Drewsen, CEO of the EET Group, added: “Having recently completed the large-scale relocation of our main warehouse last year, we fully understand what it takes to ensure a smooth transition. We’re excited to enhance our ability to deliver faster and even more reliably, while supporting our focus on energy efficiency and responsible business practices.”

Efficient access

Located just two miles from Junction 23A of the M4 motorway, the new facility is perfectly positioned for efficient access by customers and workers in South Wales and South West England.

Additionally, its proximity to the M5 motorway ensures strong connectivity to the Midlands and the North of England, in turn strengthening EET UK’s and Oprema’s logistics capabilities.

With this investment, the EET Group is reinforcing its position as a leading distributor. It’s an important step in the Group’s long-term strategy of “operational excellence” and “world-class service” for customers and partners.
