BATHROOM and kitchen surface manufacturer Rearo has invested in a new fleet of high volume delivery trucks.
The £400,000 purchase marks a key milestone in the Glasgow-based company’s growth plans. The new fleet of eight Renault Master 3.5-tonne vehicles will be stationed across Rearo’s national branch network: two in Glasgow, two in Northampton, and one each in Aberdeen, Skelmersdale, Washington, and Rosyth.
This deployment brings Rearo’s total commercial fleet to 12 vehicles, bolstering its last-mile delivery capabilities.
The investment is described as central to the company’s expansion strategy, which includes targeting 100% growth in commercial sales over the next year. It supports the recent development of the firm’s depot network, including a new Aberdeen branch.
Rearo explained that a key driver for the transport investment was operational and environmental efficiency. The new vehicles – named 2025 Van of the Year – are 200mm lower than their predecessors, improving aerodynamics, and are said to be 30% more fuel-efficient, offering cost savings and a reduced carbon footprint.
Rearo recently agreed a partnership with the Dow Group to recycle more than 98% of its waste.
Robert Lis, transport manager, said, “This is a major advancement for our logistics. The new Renault Masters are not just vehicles; they are a statement of our commitment to smarter, more sustainable operations.
“A 30% reduction in fuel consumption is a huge improvement, benefiting both our bottom line and our environmental targets. These vans, stationed across our key hubs, ensure we can serve both our domestic and commercial customers more effectively than ever.”
Graham Mercer, MD at Rearo, added, “Our expanded fleet is the engine behind our national ambition. The north and north east were the final pieces of the jigsaw, and with our new Aberdeen branch and these vans, we can now claim to be a truly UK-wide company. This investment is driven by a commitment to customer service and responsiveness.
“It allows us to offer a more predictable, reliable, and efficient delivery service to clients from Cornwall to Caithness, supporting our ambitious growth targets in the commercial sector.”
