Kbins acquired by Logson Group
We are pleased to announce that earlier this year Kbins was acquired by Logson Group.
A family-owned business and supplier of bins, totes and warehouse and order picking solutions, the incumbent owners of Kbins decided it was time to retire and began to source a business that had the knowledge, drive and enthusiasm to protect the brand and take the business into the next phase of its history.
Since the acquisition, operations have transferred from Leeds to a site on the outskirts of Doncaster and a new ecommerce website has been developed giving new and existing customers an even easier way to order stock bins and totes.
David Richardson, CEO, Logson Group commented; “We were approached by Kbins owners to see if we wanted to acquire this successful small business and we didn’t hesitate, spotting its potential and opportunity for growth and development.
“It complements the existing Logson Group portfolio perfectly and the old and new teams have worked together to ensure a seamless transfer of operations. We’re excited about what the future has for this iconic brand that is well known across the warehousing and industrial sectors.”
Kbins was established almost forty years ago by our founder and former owner, Graeme Ford, who on a business trip to America discovered Kole bins and brought the brand to the UK under licence. After the licence period ended, Kbins was born, a registered trademark. The rest, as they say, is history.
Today, it is a brand that is well recognised and products are supplied to customers across the UK and Europe. They’re spotted in so many settings – laboratories, workshops, warehouses and industrial facilities right through to domestic garages and micro-businesses.
