Industries we move every day in Darlaston
Darlaston has deep roots in metalworking, fastener manufacturing and engineering, and the WS10 area still hosts a significant number of precision engineering, stamping and pressings, and automotive component businesses. We collect production-critical parts, tooling, jigs and samples from these firms on a regular basis, often at short notice when a production line is waiting. Logistics and distribution operators across the Wednesbury and Darlaston commercial estate network also call on us for urgent pallet movements. The wider Black Country automotive supply chain — feeding plants across the Midlands and beyond — is a core part of what we do from WS10.
