Palintest, a Gateshead-based water analysis technology firm, has significantly bolstered its facility manufacturing capabilities to keep up with the growing demand for its products. Specialising in crafting equipment for water quality monitoring and disinfection control, the company\u00a0has expanded the production capacity at\u00a0its Gateshead\u00a0site from one to three lines, in its most substantial operational investment in the past decade.<\/p>\n
Supporting Palintest’s strategic growth ambition, the primary production line will be dedicated to large batch products, a secondary line will focus on Palintest’s smaller batch items and a smaller third production line is to be allocated for sample batches used in research and development,\u00a0alongside products requiring more intricate manufacturing processes. A further\u00a0\u00a3500,000 investment has been channelled into establishing a fully automated liquid product line at the Team Valley site, which has been introduced to streamline the liquid product manufacturing process, and a further \u00a3500,000 has been invested into a new air handling unit.<\/p>\n
Mark Davison, managing director at Palintest, said: \u201cPalintest is growing rapidly, so it was vital that we strengthened our manufacturing capabilities and capacity to meet increasing global demand for our water analysis technology. In addition, the investment gives us the confidence that we can deliver on our growth plans and realise our ambitions. It is a statement of intent.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Originally founded in the UK in 1989, Palintest boasts a rich history dating back to the 1800s and is globally recognised for producing cutting-edge technologies.\u00a0Its\u00a0technologies are manufactured in the UK and are used globally in a variety of applications to protect lives and the environment.
