Pipe Center invests in fabrication facility
Pipework systems specialist Pipe Center has announced that it is investing in new pipe grooving equipment, welding plant and additional trained manpower at its fabrication facility at West Horndon, a few miles east of London, in order to extend its capabilities and customer service.
The company's pipe work systems are built in factory conditions before being transported to site for installation.
Traditionally Pipe Center has focused on steel pipe work for hvac applications, but says it is now expanding to meet wider needs, including copper pipe systems for use in large scale cold water projects.
Recently appointed general manager Gary Franklin said: "The investments in new equipment and people significantly extend our capabilities, and enable us to take on a wider range of work. The aim is to build on our core strength in steel pipe work for commercial buildings, and grow in new areas that add value to customers – as well as our own business."
