The new facility is expected to complement Macfarlane’s other Scottish distribution centre in Inverness.

It will occupy a 28,000ft² space at the 190,000ft² storage and distribution hub in Baillieston.

Under the ten-year deal, Bullet Express will source all of its protective packaging from Macfarlane Packaging, in addition, Bullet Express will provide logistics services to support Macfarlane’s existing distribution service.

Bullet Express managing director David McCutcheon said: "We offer Macfarlane Packaging a warm welcome to our new site at Baillieston. Macfarlane was our first customer when we set up business in 1990 so having them on-site is particularly significant."
