Investing In The Future
Investing in the future, supporting our customers… why we have strengthened our manufacturing capabilities
Palintest’s purpose is to safeguard water for everyone every day.
It underlines everything we do.
It’s at the core of the development and supply of our water analysis technologies.
However, in order to ensure our products are available to everyone who needs them – and to deliver on our vision of offering best in class water analysis technology – it’s vital that we constantly review and improve our manufacturing capabilities, processes and facilities.
That’s why we’ve made a major investment in our manufacturing operations at our site at Team Valley, Gateshead UK.
It is the largest investment in these facilities in a decade and demonstrates our commitment to manufacturing in North East England – a region where Palintest has deep roots.
The investment has included increasing the number of production lines at the site from one to three. The large production line will be dedicated to the production of large batch products, a second line will focus on our smaller batch products and a smaller production line will be dedicated to sample batches for use in R&D, and products which require more complex manufacturing processes.
Two new tablet manufacturing machines have been installed at our Team Valley site, which have increased its tablet manufacturing capacity by 115%, and improvements have been made to our PQT laboratory, which will support our testing and R&D activities, and aid new product development.
In addition, we have installed a new fully automated liquid product line, which has been introduced to streamline the liquid product manufacturing process, and invested in a new air handling unit.
So what does the investment mean for our customers?
Improving the service we offer to our customers has been the driving force behind the investment.
Boosting efficiency, accelerating production and improving processes means that we can reduce lead times for our customers. We can also offer a greater level of agility and flexibility when responding to the evolving needs of the sectors we serve.
We are seeing increased global demand for our products, so increasing capacity at our manufacturing site will enable Palintest to both meet this and react quickly to new market requirements.
And what does the investment mean for our team?
Through investing in state-of-the-art equipment and enhancing our working environment, we have created a more modern workplace for our team – and made many tasks easier and quicker to carry out.
The investment has also opened up new development opportunities for our staff – and supports us in attracting new talent.
Striding forward
We are very proud of what we achieved at Palintest, with our technology used in numerous applications across the globe to protect lives and the environment.
And we continue to move ahead.
By enhancing our manufacturing capabilities and facilities, we have taken another big step on the journey to realising our growth ambitions, while giving customers ongoing confidence in the supply and quality of Palintest’s innovative products.
