ACI MOVES TO LARGER PREMISES FACILITATES CURRENT AND FUTURE GROWTH

Air Control Industries, leading manufacturer of fans, blowers and airknife surface drying systems is moving to new and larger premises. This move will provide for improved and extended manufacturing capabilities combined with enhanced test and development facilities.

ACI’s move to new premises in Axminster comes after 40 years on the Chard site, which the company has now outgrown. As well as providing scope for growth and reorganisation of manufacturing processes for greater efficiency, the new site has much better access for today’s large transport vehicles, which will greatly improve handling of goods in wards and outwards.

Also, with the new factory being just five miles away, the company will be able to retain all its key staff, ensuring continuity and no loss of expertise.

Managing director Paul Tuffin said: “We are delighted that we have finally found a suitable factory within five miles of our current location. The new site has plenty of scope for future growth and has excellent access for the large articulated vehicles that struggle to manoeuvre into our existing site.”
