Currently employing more than 200 people at the site, it will soon be expanding its base on Colwick Industrial Estate. The investment will boost Luxfer’s alternative fuel team, which has increased its production over the past 12 months of bespoke CNG and hydrogen power systems for buses and other types of commercial vehicles.
The company boasts six sites around the globe and will also bring up to 10 new roles to the business, as well as investment in new manufacturing equipment. The Nottingham base manufactures up to one million cylinders each year.
It specialises in creating high-pressure aluminium and composite gas cylinders, which are used in all walks of life – including for medical life support, and by firefighters as extinguishers and Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Luxfer cylinders are also used in the aerospace and beverage industries.
