[Gloucester, UK: 6 August, 2025] Optimas Solutions announced the opening of a regional distribution centre in Wynyard, United Kingdom, to better serve customers in the North East. 

Optimas, the leading global industrial distributor and service provider specialising in fastening and supply chain solutions, adds a UK facility to its ranks. The move is part of a larger Optimas strategy to create a UK distribution footprint that brings supply closer to customer demand to ensure timely delivery of parts, plus improved management of inventory.

Optimas’ new facility has a 15,000-square-foot warehouse and accommodates 20 employees. It is also supported by several existing Optimas envoys embedded in customer sites within the region. The facility has on-site kitting and quality capabilities, with capacity for 2,700 pallet spaces.

As part of the strategic move, Optimas’ Newton Aycliffe and Bredbury facilities have merged into this facility to better align resources closer to customers in the UK.

Optimas is proud to support local initiatives, and following the transition from Newton Aycliffe to Wynyard, the team donated surplus furniture and office supplies to local charities Inside Out North East CIC and the Salvation Army.

Optimas International CEO Mike Tuffy commented, “Opening our Wynyard distribution centre marks a significant step in our UK strategy to bring supply closer to demand and better serve our customers in the North East. By aligning our operations more strategically, we’re ensuring faster delivery, improved inventory management and stronger regional support.”

Pete Stevenson, Optimas Vice-President – UK, said: “The Wynyard facility is another important milestone for our operations in the UK. This move will not only help improve the service we provide customers in the North East but also further build on our strong partnerships in the region.”

Martyn Johnson, Optimas Vice-President – Operations, said: “With a strong team in place and an operation built for speed and efficiency, we are ready to deliver real value in the North East. The Wynyard facility shows our commitment to supporting our customers where they need us most.”
