Straight, the Leeds based supplier of environmental container solutions

supply an automated storage and retrieval system for the facility and this will
use a bespoke container solution designed and supplied by Straight.

Straight has worked closely, as a subcontractor, with FKI Logistex and its

the specialist load handling equipment to be installed in the British Library
building.

Production will commence early in 2007. Straight estimates that the contract is
worth #2.5 million in revenue over 2007 and 2008.
