"For just-in-time supply into the plants, you can't beat Coventry's position. The M6 and A45 put us minutes from everywhere that matters, and the Whitley area's engineering base is right on our doorstep."
Kitting and light assembly for Coventry businesses — components counted, kits built to your bill of materials and barcoded as one sellable SKU, 20 minutes from DIRFT.
Contract assembly serving Coventry: bundles, gift sets, sub-assemblies, POS and shelf-ready builds, with component-level stock visibility so you know how many kits you can actually make. Assembly from £0.45, de-kitting available, 20 minutes from DIRFT via M6 (J2–J3), M69, M40 / A46, A45 and A46.
Assembly done before the orders arrive is cheap. Assembly done during a rush is what makes a peak fall over.
Parts received, counted against your bill of materials and held as components, so you always know how many finished kits you can actually build.
Kits assembled to a written spec and barcoded as one finished SKU — which is what lets a complex product be picked as a single line.

If the Golden Triangle has a centre of gravity, Coventry has a strong claim to it. Ringed by the M6 at Junctions 2 and 3, fed by the M69 down to Leicester and the A45 and A46 in every other direction, the city sits almost dead-centre in England's distribution heartland. From the CV1 to CV6 postcodes the Rugby and DIRFT core is barely twenty minutes away, and the entire Midlands motorway network fans out from the ring road with an ease few other cities can match.
Coventry's logistics instincts were forged in the motor trade. This was the cradle of the British car industry, and that heritage still hums through Whitley - long associated with Jaguar Land Rover - and the advanced-manufacturing campuses around the University of Warwick. Prologis Park Ryton, built on the old Peugeot plant, and Middlemarch Business Park have since turned the city into a serious warehousing address, with the Bayton Road estate adding established industrial space toward the Bedworth side.
What makes Coventry unusual is the sheer breadth of its reach. Rugby, Nuneaton and Bedworth are practically on the doorstep; Leamington Spa's games and engineering cluster and historic Warwick lie a short run down the A46. Whether an operator is moving automotive components, e-commerce parcels or advanced-manufacturing freight, the city's central position means fewer empty miles and a customer base that stretches across the whole triangle from a single, well-linked base.
For kitting, the argument around Coventry is arithmetic rather than geography. A six-component gift set picked loose costs six picks and six chances to grab the wrong thing. Built here in advance and barcoded as one SKU, it costs one — and that gap is what decides whether a campaign clears the same day.

Local answers for Coventry, plus the questions every kitting & assembly client asks.
Because of its geography. The city sits almost exactly in the middle of the distribution heartland, ringed by the M6 (J2-J3), the M69 and the A45, with the DIRFT and Rugby core about twenty minutes away. Few locations offer such balanced reach across the Midlands.
It does. As the birthplace of the British car industry, the city retains deep supply-chain expertise, with Jaguar Land Rover roots at Whitley and advanced manufacturing around the University of Warwick. That legacy supports specialist component storage and just-in-time handling.
Prologis Park Ryton, built on the former Peugeot site, and Middlemarch Business Park lead for modern big-shed space, while the Whitley area and Bayton Road estate offer further industrial capacity with quick access to the M6 and A45.
Very quickly. The M6, M69, A45 and A46 all meet around the city, so Rugby, Nuneaton, Leicester, Warwick and Leamington are within a short drive, and the M40 opens the route south. Central position means fewer empty running miles.
Yes. Alongside its automotive and advanced-manufacturing base, Coventry has grown into a major e-commerce location thanks to its central reach and modern parks like Prologis Ryton. The same road links that suit component freight suit fast parcel despatch.
Multipacks and banded sets, gift and starter kits, sub-assemblies, promotional packs, and retail display or POS units built and filled to the retailer’s spec. Simple assembly from £0.45 per unit; complex builds quoted once we have seen the spec.
A written work instruction agreed with you, a first-off sample approved before the run starts, and a QC check per batch. Components are counted against your bill of materials at goods-in, so shortages surface before the build rather than during it.
Yes — the kit becomes its own SKU with its own barcode and stock figure, which is what turns a six-component product into a single pick line when the orders arrive.
Yes, and it is worth planning. Tell us the launch date and the build is finished beforehand, so a spike in Coventry orders clears the same day instead of backing up behind assembly work.
Yes. De-kitting returns components to stock as individual SKUs, which usually beats discounting a seasonal set. Component storage is from £4.50 per pallet per week.
