Avanti Conveyors to relocate to purpose built site

September 29, 2021 Off By Sebastian Reisig

We are pleased to announce that we have secured a new site in Harpur Hill, Buxton, Derbyshire to support our ambitious growth plans.

Exponential growth in the corrugated industry (over of 6% year on year) has driven up demand for more automated materials handling systems. We have experienced a significant increase in demand for our products and have committed to this move to facilitate our continued growth.

The new building will comprise of a purpose built 40,000 sqft manufacturing bay with a 5,500 sqft mezzanine for office space and a 5,000 sqft mezzanine for electrical engineering. A dedicated new product development area is included in the layout plans.

This enlarged manufacturing facility will provide four bays for full assembly, a new testing area of the Pegasus separator palletiser line, as well as allowing customers an in person or online demonstration and acceptance of their equipment prior to shipment to their site.

This new plant will fulfil our objective to ship conveyors up to 14m in length in single sections for efficient, cost effective installation. Overhead cranes will be used internally for truck loading of large sections of engineering products. The new welding and fabrication areas will allow a significant percentage of outsourced fabrication to be brought in house, helping ensure our competitive cost base is sustained for the long-term. Our future plans on this site include the addition of an in house powder coating facility and further expansion of product lines.
