Rhino Products move to Ellesmere Port

Rhino Products have opened a state-of-the-art flagship office and production facility in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.

The new 87,250sqft space, named Rhino House, supports continued growth and expansion, with the group’s floor space now totalling over 175,000sqft across five sites. Rhino’s former head office and factory in Deeside now houses AVS Steps, the Rhino group’s passenger vehicle side step business, which was acquired in 2017.

Rhino Products, now 17 years old, has grown significantly in recent years, with European distribution centres in the Netherlands and Sweden, and an additional sales office in Poland. Through these multiple sites, Rhino are able to supply their popular roof racks, bars, ladder handling systems, steps, pipe carriers and rear door ladders to a wealth of customers across Europe, UK and wider export markets.

The new building features custom designed production areas, two mezzanine floors, modern offices, excellent staff facilities and even a life-size rhino sculpture outside!

With significant investment behind the build of the new site, innovation was at the forefront of the design of the new factory. Rhino have invested in four VNA forklifts, creating triple the production space to previous, as well as increasing their goods in space over 10 times in size, with further room for expansion.

The factory opening marks what will be another progressive year for Rhino, as they prepare to launch two new products, the AluminiumLadder and PipeTube Pro, to market in the coming months. Alongside this, there will also be exciting progress for AVS Steps, with a new electric side step and manual step due to be released, officially relaunching the company under Rhino ownership.
