Manchester and Salford magistrates fined Albis £33,000 and ordered the company to pay £3,684 costs and £170 victim surcharge.
The company, which employs 115 people, moved its operation to Booths Park off Chelford Road earlier this year after its previous site was sold in a £6.3 million deal.
The 113,820 sq ft warehouse and office complex was sold to Avjon 3 Limited through William Sillitoe, based in Wilmslow.
