A trusted supplier across Bidfood’s nationwide estate for many years, FBS Hörmann was appointed to deliver a fully integrated solution designed to meet the operational demands of the high-performance facility.
The Worcester project comprised nine complete loading bays, each equipped with Hörmann HTL2 dock levellers and SPU67 fully automated industrial sectional doors and bespoke dock pads and bumpers.
The Worcester project comprised nine complete loading bays, each equipped with Hörmann HTL2 dock levellers and SPU67 fully automated industrial sectional doors and bespoke dock pads and bumpers.
The dock pads and bumpers were designed and manufactured in-house by FBS Hörmann specifically to accommodate the varied vehicle types within the Bidfood fleet, ensuring safe, efficient and consistent dock operations while minimising the risk of vehicle and building damage. In addition, a Hörmann SPU67 sectional door was installed to serve a dedicated level access bay, providing greater flexibility for loading and unloading operations.
Internally, FBS Hörmann supplied and installed two Mavicold freezer doors and six Mavipass chiller doors to support temperature-controlled operations within the facility. The high-speed, isothermal Mavicold and Mavipass chiller doors are specifically designed for cold environments, using rapid stacking technology to reduce heat transfer and maintain cold chain integrity. Their robust, frost-resistant construction, combined with a range of safety and control options, ensures reliable, energy-efficient performance in demanding settings.
Well known within the industry, Maviflex joined the Hörmann Group in 2019. Since then, it has continued to expand its comprehensive portfolio of flexible high-speed doors for internal and external applications, engineered to provide rapid automated operation and advanced integrated safety features.
John Aitken, Managing Director of FBS Hörmann, commented: “Our relationship with Bidfood has been built over many years on trust, performance and a shared commitment to operational excellence. We understand the specific demands of foodservice distribution, particularly within temperature-controlled environments, and the Worcester project demonstrates the value of close collaboration and a fully integrated approach.
"The completion of this installation marks a significant milestone with now more than 100 Maviflex high-speed doors having been installed across the Bidfood estate. Many have completed over a million operating cycles, and they have proven to be a true workhorse in challenging environments, consistently delivering reliability alongside low maintenance and repair costs.”
With the installation now complete, FBS Hörmann will continue to support the Worcester depot through its comprehensive aftersales and maintenance services. Backed by an extensive stock holding, the company is well positioned to provide rapid access to replacement parts and fast-turnaround repairs, ensuring minimal downtime and continued operational efficiency.
