This technology is also used extensively in the continued development of in-house tooling that allows us to further expand our engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
The business operates out of two sites:
Steeton in West Yorkshire: this site is a former Royal Ordnance Factory and was purchased in 1990. In 2020 this facility underwent a significant expansion and refurbishment to both the warehousing and office facilities. It serves as the company HQ and central distribution hub.
Hillington near Glasgow: this site houses the engineering and manufacturing functions.
The facility was purchased in June 2022 and after an extensive fit-out the site will be ready for use from the summer of 2023.
