In the UK, Severn Glocon has moved its Group headquarters to a new facility in Gloucester, providing over 70,000 sq.ft of modern manufacturing space, including new investment in CNC machining, testing and painting plant.
In addition to the enlarged factory, improvements to engineering and contract management teams have also been implemented to further support the complex delivery requirements of customers.

We needed to address our capacity for the long term while ensuring that we remain cost effective and competitive." explains Severn Glocon Group Chief Executive Maurice Critchley: "We are proud to be a British manufacturer, designing and manufacturing in the UK to the highest standards, and we will continue to export from our new and modern Gloucester facility.
