Speaking of the new venture Stephen Wright, Thorite’s Managing Director said “With the opening of the Brierley Hill operation we are well placed to provide the best in pneumatics products and system design to a vital area of the UK’s manufacturing and processing heartland. Expanding into the West Midlands has been a key objective for some time and once the opportunity arose we sealed the deal very quickly in the run-up to Christmas. Although the economic climate remains tough, the world hasn’t ended in spite of the doom and gloom in currency markets, so we decided to go ahead with this latest venture which strengthens Thorite’s position as a national operator.”
