Premier Coatings Investing in New Technology

With confidence in the future of the market, and order levels at an all-time high, the company decided that the time had come to invest in an additional production line utilising the latest technology at its facility based in Smarden, Kent. The new plant, now fully functional, has already proved itself to have significantly increased the company's manufacturing capabilities.

Premier's Managing Director, Terry Capps, said: “The new plant has contributed to improved efficiency and has reduced waste, with both financial and environmental benefits. This investment has raised our overall capacity, which in turn has helped us to improve turnaround times. This enables us to continue to delight our existing customers, whilst also securing new business in emerging markets and elsewhere.”
