FPE Global, Stockport, UK, has opened a new 30,000ft² manufacturing operation at its headquarters close to Manchester Airport which includes a 3500ft² test plant. Here a range of materials handling technology is available for customer trials, including a multi-phase 500m pneumatic conveying system which is said to be the only one of its kind in the UK. 

 

“The launch of the new manufacturing and test facility is another key step on our growth journey as we enhance our services to clients around the world”, commented recently appointed CEO David Cooper. FPE Global was backed by private equity firm NorthEdge Capital in 2014 and reports that it is on track to achieve sales of £16m by end of 2017. www.fpeglobal.com
