The new purpose-designed premises house the John Crane Safematic sales and marketing, application engineering, product development, manufacturing and refurbishment activities.
They feature state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment which will contribute towards improved productivity levels and also boost the on-going programme of new product development initiatives, including those which have a strong environmental focus on water savings such as the SmartFlow device.
"This is a major step forward for John Crane," comments Mike Mansell, Managing Director of John Crane Europe, Asia and Africa: "John Crane Safematic already has a well-established reputation as a global leader in sealing solutions and associated products for the pulp and paper industry with growth into other slurry types of application.
The significant commitment and investment that we have made in this outstanding new facility can only further that reputation.
It also reflects both the importance that John Crane places on the pulp and paper, slurry and growing biofuel market sectors and the future potential we see there.
The sealing solutions market for this sector is currently worth some Euro 150M.
As a company John Crane is ideally placed to benefit from that potential and this new Centre will now play a major part in that process".
