Stock in Manchester, Logroño and Tangerang: Why Warehouse Location Matters
A warehouse address is a supply-chain answer, not a directory entry. KUKA CABLE publishes a UK warehouse in Blackley, Manchester, a Spain warehouse on Avenida de La Rioja in Logroño, an Indonesia office and warehouse in Tangerang and an Australia office and warehouse across QLD, VIC, NSW, WA and SA, alongside its Shanghai head office on Tingwei Road. For a buyer choosing a solar cable supplier, those locations sit between the factory's 7,000 m² site and the delivery date.

What the published locations actually are
The company page lists them without describing stocking policy. The UK entry is a warehouse in Blackley, Manchester. The Spain entry is a warehouse at Avenida de La Rioja 1, Entreplanta, 26001 Logroño, La Rioja. The Indonesia entry is an office and warehouse in Tangerang, and Australia has an office and warehouse across QLD, VIC, NSW, WA and SA. Shanghai is the head office on Tingwei Road.
Six markets, four of them outside China, and the wording differs between entries: some are warehouses, some are offices with warehousing. That distinction is worth reading carefully, because it separates a location that can hold a pallet for a project from one that handles customer contact in that time zone.
Why a European address changes a project schedule
A rooftop programme is usually constrained by access and scaffolding rather than by cable, and both are booked weeks ahead. When a reel has to arrive inside a short access window, the port of entry and the inland leg matter more than the factory's own production date.
The manufacturer publishes no delivery times, no shipping costs and no stock levels, so none of that should be assumed. What the addresses do is shorten the part of the route that the buyer cannot control, and they make it possible to ask a precise question: which items are held at the Manchester or Logroño location, and which come from Shanghai.
Time zones and languages inside a working day
The locations spread across time zones broadly matching their markets, which changes how quickly a technical question is answered. A warehouse in Manchester answers a UK buyer inside the same working day; Tangerang and the Australian sites cover their own regions.
Contact details are published on every page: telephone 0086-18317109559 and email [email protected], with the Jinshan District address alongside. The site does not publish a country list or per-market contacts, so the practical route is to ask which location serves the destination.
The stock question to ask, and the one not to ask
Asking whether a supplier has stock somewhere is a yes-or-no question. Asking which cross-sections, lengths and colours are held at that location is the one that changes a schedule, and it is the question the site's own wording supports, since it distinguishes warehouses from offices.
The solar cable range makes the question concrete. Sections run from 1.5 mm² at 4.6 mm diameter and 34 g/m up to 240 mm² at 27.0 mm diameter and 2,350 g/m, in black or red, with twin-core versions published alongside the single-core ones. A local warehouse that holds two of those builds is a different proposition from one that holds fifteen.
What sits behind a local address
A warehouse is only as useful as the factory process it shortens. The speciality cable laboratory has run since December 2015 and is described as an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory, and the quality framework the site calls the SIF quality model includes 100% inspection of finished products and retained samples for traceability.
The PV division has operated independently since August 2018, covering DC cables, AC cables, inverter plug wires, connectors and wiring harnesses, with TUV, SAA and CPR among the certifications named. A delivery that arrives from a local warehouse still carries the batch reference and the test record of the line that made it.
Service terms published next to the addresses
The site describes a one-stop butler service in which a product consultant is responsible for the whole process from enquiry through delivery to post-maintenance. Free samples are offered on product pages, and data sheets and the company catalogue can be downloaded, with a logistics page and customised services described in the same section.
None of that is a delivery commitment, and the site publishes no lead time or freight figure. Read the location list and the service description together and they define what can be asked for; the answer to when it arrives still comes in writing.
| Published location | Address as printed | What the site calls it |
|---|---|---|
| Shanghai, China | Tingwei Highway, Tinglin Town, Jinshan District | Head office and facility |
| Manchester, UK | Blackley, Manchester | Warehouse |
| Logroño, Spain | Av. de La Rioja 1, Entreplanta, 26001 Logroño, La Rioja | Warehouse |
| Tangerang, Indonesia | Tangerang | Office and warehouse |
| Australia | QLD, VIC, NSW, WA and SA | Office and warehouse |
Worked example
Two published dates set the clock on European stock. The speciality cable laboratory was established in December 2015 and national high-tech enterprise status came in March 2023, which is 7 years and 3 months apart in the author's subtraction. The PV division became independent in August 2018, so it has operated in its own right for about 8 years and 1 month up to the 24 Sept 2026 read date, again the author's arithmetic from published dates.
Those figures describe how long the structure has been in place, not what is on a shelf. The site publishes no stock levels, no lead time and no freight cost, so a schedule built on a Manchester or Logroño address should be confirmed in writing before it is built into a programme.
Frequently asked questions
Does the supplier hold stock in Europe?
The company page lists a UK warehouse in Blackley, Manchester, and a Spain warehouse at Avenida de La Rioja 1, Entreplanta, 26001 Logroño, La Rioja. It does not publish stock levels, which cross-sections are held at each location, or any delivery time, so those questions have to be asked directly before a schedule depends on them.
Which markets can be served from those locations?
The published reach is customers in more than 120 countries, supported by the Shanghai facility of more than 7,000 m² and the locations in Manchester, Logroño, Tangerang and across QLD, VIC, NSW, WA and SA in Australia. The site publishes no country list and no per-market delivery terms, so the destination and the stock question belong in the enquiry.
Questions to send with the enquiry
Name the destination city and the access window, then ask which location would ship the order and what is held there for the cross-section you need. Ask for the batch reference and the test record so it can be matched on arrival, and ask for the packing and drum length so the unloading plan is right. Contact details are published on every page, so the enquiry can go straight to the address that serves the market rather than through a general form.
Warehouse cities named here, and the reach figures beside them, are stated on the manufacturer's own website, checked there on 24 Sept 2026[1].
