Investing in testing
Chemfix Products Ltd has announced new investment in its manufacturing facility in Dewsbury, UK. Following on from continued
investments in both offices and production plant and machinery in the past two years, Chemfix is now focussing on its technical area with
the installation of a purpose built test centre.
The new test centre is planned to be operational by April 2009, and its main purpose is to modernise and improve both the standard & scope of
Chemfix’s in-house chemical anchoring test facility.
In particular, the new centre is specially designed to house larger concrete test blocks, to increase the diameter sizes and embedment depth of the
test fixings and allow for higher pull out load testing.
Urs Joos, Chemfix managing director, commented, “I’m really very excited about the new project. This investment in new equipment will allow a
greater scope of tests to be performed with an easier, more accurate interpretation of the results. It will also allow for more in-house testing to be
carried out, which were previously out-sourced.”
Chemfix Products Limited has also invested in its sales force, by appointing Michelle Bell as its new national sales manager. “Michelle will be
covering the UK market for chemical anchoring, polyester & epoxy based professional & DIY wood fillers and concrete repair products. She has extensive
experience of the building chemical market having spent over 14 years within the industry.”
