GILLINGHAM, UK: Almost a year after construction started, Henry Schein opened its new headquarters in the Gillingham Business Park last week. The new state-of-the-art and energy-efficient facility, which includes two floors of office space and a warehouse, will serve as the main office and distribution centre for the company’s dental and medical customers in the UK.

The new facility was built adjacent to the existing Henry Schein UK facility at the site, which was established in 1991. Its new warehouse includes an education centre with a showroom for product demonstrations featuring a wide range of innovative high-tech digital technology. The company is also planning to develop additional warehouse space if more storage capacity is needed.

“This new, outstanding facility is a source of great pride for our company, underscoring our commitment to environmental sustainability, as the project’s planning and construction has taken into account the impact on the surrounding environment,” said Stanley M. Bergman, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Henry Schein, at the opening on 8 October, which was attended by over 500 people.

The company stated that its new facility was built with sensitivity to the surrounding natural habitat and local animal species. Over the course of the project, measures were taken to clear vegetation in an environmentally sensitive manner and to protect and relocate protected wildlife inhabiting the development site, and a trained ecologist made periodic visits to the site. Henry Schein also worked with Medway Council, the government authority charged with providing local services to Gillingham and other nearby towns, to create an acoustic and visual barrier between the new facility and nearby homes by planting trees.
