UK shower tray manufacturer, MX Group, is boosted by its new shower tray production factory.
The new factory is capable of producing 200 shower trays an hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week – 1.68 million shower trays a year at full capacity. It will be producing 12,000 shower trays a week during its first three months on stream before stepping up to 16,000 a week for the last three months of the company’s financial year.
Chairman of the MX Group, Bernard Robinson, said: “This is the most advanced shower tray manufacturing plant in Europe and it ensures our position as the leading shower tray manufacturer in the UK. This highly impressive automated plant runs with a 42-man production team, with very limited manual intervention. We’ve responded to the demands of our major customers and made this investment in our manufacturing plant here in Tewkesbury.
“We’ve taken a huge leap forward ahead of our competitors here and we’re looking forward to winding up the production levels after an initial conservative approach to get the factory up and running smoothly.”
