Flexiform Showcases Fit-out at Yusen Logistics
Flexiform has completed the Category B office fit-out for Yusen Logistics UK's new sustainable distribution centre in Northampton. As a global logistics and supply chain company, Yusen Logistics UK sought to furnish its newly built facility with high-quality furniture that combined functionality with visual appeal. A key priority was to source items made from sustainable or recyclable materials, reflecting the company's strong environmental values.
As a proud member of the Furniture Industry Sustainability Programme (FISP) and an ISO 14001–accredited manufacturer, Flexiform is committed to reducing our environmental impact and achieving our Net Zero target by 2047, including Scope 3 materials. The office furniture case study showcases products tested and certified by FIRA International, including Todd modular office desks and Additions 2 meeting tables. Both office furniture ranges are manufactured using Welsh steel with 25% recycled content and 100% recyclability, paired with FSC®-certified worktops containing 76% recycled material and offering 100% recyclability, delivering a sustainable and highly durable solution. (FSC Certification: C015991).
"Working with Flexiform on the fit-out of our new facility was a seamless and rewarding experience. From the outset, they understood our vision, not just for high-quality, sustainable furniture, but for creating a space that truly reflected the Yusen Logistics brand. Their commitment to environmental responsibility, including zero waste to landfill and UK-based manufacturing, aligned perfectly with our sustainability goals.
The team was responsive, professional, and collaborative throughout, even providing furniture samples for stakeholder feedback, which helped us make confident, informed decisions. The final result is a welcoming, functional, and visually cohesive environment that supports the wellbeing of our workforce and reinforces our brand identity. We're delighted with the outcome and look forward to continuing our partnership with Flexiform across our UK sites." - Marilyn Mace, Marketing Manager, Yusen Logistics UK.
Flexiform is incredibly proud to have partnered with Yusen Logistics UK's project management team to bring their new facilities to life. The success of the project was built on clear, consistent communication and close collaboration between both teams, values that reflect our commitment as a UK manufacturer and fit-out specialist.
