Dustcheck Ltd, established in 1978, has seen sales rise by 40% over the last twelve months - including exciting projects to help Weetabix, Marley Eternit and Johnson Matthey ensure their workspaces are dust free.
Significant investment in the sales engineering team and improved customer support and aftermarket care has been behind the firm’s strong growth and plans are already in place to build on this with the development of a new product range.
“We have enjoyed sustained expansion since the company was acquired by Filtermist International Ltd in 2017 to become part of the globally successful Absolent Group,” explained Andy Darby, UK sales manager at Dustcheck.
“This was a real milestone moment in the 41-year history of our business and has given us access to the resources and expertise of the wider group, such as working with Multi-Fan Systems on larger projects that need a single-source solution.”
He continued: “Customers are really liking this approach as we can now complete projects quicker and take care of additional responsibilities they were going elsewhere for.
“We’ve only been in the Group for a short while and sales have already increased 40%...the good news is that this is just the start and there’s significant potential for us to increase market share considerably both in the UK and overseas.”
He continued: “In May last year, we acquired the business assets of Glasgow-based Dust Control Solutions and this gave us a real foothold in Scotland and a base for Filtermist’s service and Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) engineers based north of the border.
“That’s one area we’re really looking to grow. The other main focus will be on the food industry, where we are launching a dedicated marketing campaign to highlight the benefits of a dust free environment to companies in this sector.”
