When it comes to innovative warehousing and logistics, we’ve got our eye on the ball. At Heneways, we pride ourselves on our ability to turn challenges into triumphs through core partnerships and creative problem-solving. Just ask Connectix, the UK-based telecommunications trailblazers who contracted us to store and distribute fiber optic cables and equipment across the US.

Faced with the challenge of storing delicate fiber optic reels in outdoor environments, we engineered a custom solution using flat-packed metal reels sourced from Korea. After months of meticulous assembly, these reels were ready to weather any storm. But the challenges didn’t stop there! When a wasp infestation in a shipping container halted operations, we found an unexpected hero in a local beekeeper who safely removed the threat.

With a network of warehouses near Connectix’s construction sites, we’ve ensured streamlined operations and timely equipment delivery, supporting their mission to make high-speed internet accessible to all.
