Kite Packaging Flexible Protection Systems Project

Project Overview

Kite Packaging, the UK’s leading supplier of packaging solutions, expanded in 2022 with a new 400,000 sq. ft. Campus at Puma Park, Coventry. This state-of-the-art site features their largest-ever warehouse, offices, and staff facilities, supporting over 170 new jobs in the local area.

With significant vehicle traffic from forklifts and pallet trucks alongside busy pedestrian routes, the new warehouse required advanced safety systems to protect staff, infrastructure, and assets without compromising efficiency.

Did You Know?

In 2021, Kite Packaging achieved Carbon Neutral status, verified as net zero for carbon emissions. Their commitment to sustainability is further supported by renewable energy tariffs, solar power, and on-site water recycling at their Coventry Campus.

Kite’s Contribution

Kite Group supplied and installed a full suite of Flexible Protection Systems (FPS) designed with REFLEX technology to absorb and deflect impact, reducing stress on floors and fixings while maximising safety:

• Bollards (1050mm): Installed to protect warehouse columns from forklift collisions. Bright yellow, high-visibility design enhanced driver awareness.

• Pedestrian Safety Barriers (HR 90): Custom lengths created safe walkways, separating pedestrian areas from pallet truck and forklift routes.

• FPS Guard Rails (GR 150): Installed along walls and around obstacles to protect infrastructure from both light and heavy vehicle impacts.

This integrated system provided a durable, low-maintenance, and sustainable solution, ensuring long-term safety and operational efficiency at Kite Packaging’s flagship site.
