Element Logic UK expands with BS Handling Systems acquisition

Element Logic UK has acquired BS Handling Systems, a Leicester-based provider of intralogistics solutions and warehouse fit-outs. The deal strengthens Element Logic UK’s capacity to deliver integrated warehouse automation across the UK and Ireland.

BS Handling Systems brings over 20 years of experience in designing, installing, and servicing conveyors, sortation systems, mezzanine floors, racking, and automated packaging. This expertise complements Element Logic UK’s existing AutoStore® technology and product portfolio, enabling the combined business to offer end-to-end intralogistics solutions.

The acquisition supports Element Logic UK’s strategy to broaden its offerings beyond AutoStore®, addressing growing market demand for fully integrated warehouse solutions. Customers can now access scalable automation services that cover both technology deployment and physical warehouse infrastructure.

From a commercial perspective, the integration aligns Element Logic UK’s technology leadership with BS Handling Systems’ operational capabilities, enhancing service continuity and local expertise. The combined teams aim to streamline warehouse operations for clients and expand capacity for future projects across the region.

This move forms part of Element Logic’s ongoing growth trajectory, reinforcing its position as a leading provider of advanced warehouse automation solutions in Europe. The acquisition highlights a focus on merging global scale with specialised local knowledge to meet evolving intralogistics requirements.

“We are excited to welcome BS Handling Systems to the Element Logic family,” said Scott Torrington, managing director of Element Logic UK and Ireland. “Their strong industry expertise and customer focus aligns well with our goal to innovate warehouse solutions, providing comprehensive in-bound and out-bound services quickly and focusing on delivering value to our customers.”

“We are delighted to announce the next step in BS Handling’s journey as we join forces with Element Logic UK,” said Robert Brand-Smith, MD of BS Handling. “This partnership brings together our proven expertise in conveyors, storage and automation, to merge with Element Logic’s global scale and proven innovation, providing full turnkey integrator solutions specifically for the UK and Ireland markets.

“For our customers, it means continuity with the same trusted team, combined with even greater capability, resources, and technology with Element Logic UK. For our staff, it opens up exciting new opportunities to grow and develop within one of the top automaton companies in the world. We’re proud of what we’ve built to date, and the future with Element is going to be extraordinary. We are all very excited for the journey ahead!”
