Muc-Off, the renowned bicycle care brand, has recently announced substantial investments aimed at bolstering its global operations. These strategic moves are set to enhance production capabilities, create new employment opportunities, and expand warehouse capacities in both the United Kingdom and the United States.
Expansion of UK Production Facilities
At the heart of this initiative is the establishment of a state-of-the-art production site known as “The Hangar” in the UK. This facility is equipped with modern production equipment, enabling Muc-Off to manufacture a diverse range of bicycle and powersports cleaners, lubricants, and protectants. The plant is currently producing 70,000 bottles per week, facilitating multi-channel fulfilment for global distribution partners, including key accounts, independent bicycle dealers (IBDs), and e-commerce channels.

In conjunction with the production site, Muc-Off has inaugurated a sustainable 75,000 square foot warehouse, replacing the previous 52,000 square foot facility. This expansion significantly increases storage, processing, and fulfilment capacities in the UK. The warehouse is designed with energy-efficient utilities, including solar power and LED lighting, aligning with Muc-Off’s commitment to sustainability. (muc-off.com)
Growth in North American Operations
On the other side of the Atlantic, Muc-Off has invested in a new purpose-built warehouse facility in South Carolina to support its rapidly growing North American operations. This facility is significantly larger than the previous operation and has been designed to support both current demand and long-term growth. The move allows the US team to operate more efficiently, respond more quickly to changing demand, and deliver a consistent service for retail and distribution partners across North America.
