Culina Group Opens £2M Chilled Consolidation Centre to Support Aldi and Lidl Growth

Culina Group subsidiary CML has inaugurated a £2 million chilled consolidation centre in Lutterworth, aiming to bolster the growth of Aldi and Lidl in both the UK and Ireland. Additionally, CML operates a consolidation centre in Telford.

The establishment of the new centre has generated 140 jobs, spanning warehousing, HGV driving, and administrative roles. The company has already acquired new clients who supply chilled food and beverages to the discount retailers.

Currently, Aldi and Lidl together account for approximately 17.8% of the total food and drink retail market in the UK, a significant rise from 13.6% just five years ago. The new Lutterworth centre has boosted CML's capacity by over 40%.
