Extra racking has also been installed, creating more than 700 pallet spaces.
The new storage facility has allowed for additional space to be created in production areas, where newly purchased mixers have been installed, leading to an increase in manufacturing output.
The new mixers will enable the production of new and toll-manufactured products ranging from filled 1K and 2K PU, structural PU, hot melt, epoxy, and various water-based formulations.
The expansion has also included a new QC laboratory, along with the upgrading of fume and powder extraction systems in production and laboratory areas.
Simon Cashmore, operations manager at Chemique Adhesives, said: “We have made a significant investment in new equipment, and the expansion of our premises demonstrates our commitment to growth and our dedication to providing quality products for our valued customers. Following the approval of planning permission, a proposal is already in place for 2024 to source more equipment and increase our bulk storage capacity further, improving efficiencies, reducing various waste streams, and increasing productivity.”
