Industries we move every day in Saint Helens

Saint Helens has a proud industrial heritage built on glass manufacturing — Pilkington Brothers established the modern glass industry here — and today the town remains home to significant advanced manufacturing, chemicals, and distribution businesses. We regularly carry precision engineering components, pharmaceutical supplies, and industrial parts for the factories and logistics parks clustered along the M62 corridor. The retail sector around St Helens Retail Park and the town centre generates regular same day stock replenishment runs.
