Household products retailer and distributor enlists StrongPoint for first AutoStore solution

StrongPoint has been selected by an unnamed but said to be leading UK-based retailer and distributor of household products in the UK and European markets, to design and install its first AutoStore solution and provide warehouse fit out services.  

The latter will be provided by StrongPoint UK’s shopfitting unit. The value of the combined contract is approximately 15 Million NOK and both projects are expected to be completed by the end of 2025. 

“We are excited to announce another AutoStore project in the UK. This win, which brings together two solutions and services provided by StrongPoint UK, demonstrates the power of offering a broader portfolio and integrated solutions to our customers. It enables us to compete for larger, more complex projects and to be more relevant to our customers, a combination that played a key role in securing this contract,” says Jacob Tveraabak, StrongPoint CEO. 

“This is a proud day for StrongPoint UK and a great example of how we have successfully transformed and expanded the scope of our business, from our roots in shopfitting to now providing world leading automation services to a major retailer in the UK,” adds Alex Eveleigh, StrongPoint SVP UK & Ireland.  

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Automation will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards. which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
