SELKIRK FACTORY RP Adam Ltd (Arpal Group) has opened a new £100,000 UK powder production plant at its manufacturing base in Selkirk, in the Scottish Borders.
The new facility has been designed to meet a growing demand for powdered detergent across the UK, and will initially handle 400,000kg of product per year, aiming to exceed the one million kilo mark by 2020.
The investment forms part of a wider £400,000 plant improvement and expansion programme delivered by RP Adam in 2016 which has included a major expansion of the factory and warehouse facilities, resulting in a 40% increase in storage capacity at the Selkirk site in line with increased business growth.

Environments business has seen particular growth in healthcare with the introduction of patient dining, domestic services and porterage services.
Focused on helping Mitie’s clients improve the surroundings of their employees, visitors and customers, Clean Environments is one of Mitie’s largest offerings with more than 30,000 employees working across the UK.

to treble our production capacity of powder over the next five years, as well as giving us a security of supply of a product for which we have seen a steady increase in demand in recent years, especially across the UK healthcare and catering market.
“RP Adam is best known for its liquid detergents, but this strategic investment means we can now handle almost any pack size and any volume required – whether it is liquid or powder.”
The recent expansion at the Selkirk plant is a major part of RP Adam’s five year investment and growth programme, launched to mark its 125th anniversary, which sets out a £20million turnover target to be reached by 2020.
Group Sales & Marketing Director Max Adam added: “This is an exciting time for the company and this new investment at our factory further emphasises our desire to increase our manufacturing and logistics capabilities to match current and future growth.
“The Group’s general UK and overseas production volumes have increased significantly year-on-year, with our manufacturing volume at Selkirk rising by 25% over a two-year
period. Our business interests in the Middle East have also had a positive impact, with production volumes up by 32% in the last three years.
“This means we can take a much broader view of strategic investment over the longer-term – especially in those key areas which can have a positive impact on our production capabilities.”

“Clean Environments will continue to promote innovation and the use of technology to improve the working lives of our people and the efficient running of contracts for our clients.”
Rolling out throughout 2016 from early May, the Clean Environments brand represents a strong ethos of building a sustainable business for the good of its people and clients.
