Leeds open day welcomes the BCAS President

Rodney Stafford, President of the British Compressed Air Society, was guest of honour at the official opening of the Thorite new Leeds Sales and Service Centre on April 19

The Leeds Centre Open Day marked another milestone in the Thorite long association with industry in the city, as the company's original Leeds branch, which opened in 1960, was notable for being the first dedicated distributor of pneumatic equipment in the UK.

Thorite is justifiably proud to maintain its 47 year history in association with its many local customers and is still the main supplier of pneumatic equipment to the Leeds area.

Visitors to the Open Day event, which ran from 9 to 5 on April 19 and 20, were able to meet representatives and see displays from some of the major manufacturers of compressed air equipment in the UK, including Norgren, Compair, Gast and HPC, as well as taking advantage of special Open Day prices and raffles.
