Heat sealing specialist Proseal has invested £1.5 million in a new manufacturing facility, significantly increasing its production capacity to meet continued customer demand and enabling it to capitalise on growth opportunities in the UK and Europe as well as Australia and the USA.

The new 18,000 sq. ft unit almost doubles the size of Proseal’s production site in Adlington, Cheshire to 38,000 sq. ft., which is now divided into dedicated zones for manufacturing and assembly.

Proseal supplies heat sealing equipment to a worldwide customer base, operating across a wide range of sectors in the food industry from ready meals and sandwiches to fresh meat, poultry, fish and fruit. The company is renowned for the quality, reliability, speed and technical innovation of its equipment which is backed up by high levels of customer service.

Proseal was established in 1998 and from an original staff of just five, the business now employs more than 130 people and has established subsidiary companies in Australia and America. The company said that 2010 was another successful year with sales/turnover growing by 50%

“This latest expansion is another significant development for Proseal, enabling us to keep pace with customer demands both in the UK and overseas,” comments Proseal director Rob Hargreaves. “Moreover, customer service underpins our entire company philosophy and this investment will enable us to maintain and enhance this strategy.”
