Marsh increases capacity to meet growing demand


Sewage, drainage and water recycling specialist Marsh Industries is expanding its Bridgewater production and distribution facilities at Bridgwater to meet increasing demand for its range of off-mains drainage systems.


A new 20,000 square foot factory will increase capacity for Marsh’s range of larger units considerably – by 100% on 2.5m units and by 50% on 3m. The new facility will also free up capacity at Marsh’s Northamptonshire manufacturing plant, acting as a distribution hub for the south west and several new positions will be created.


“Marsh is a growing company with turnover up by 24% on 2017, which was already a record year for us,” says Marsh MD Steve Boyer. “We are currently operating at full manufacturing capacity and this new facility will offer us an opportunity to increase capacity to meet growing demand and launch new products as we develop them.”


Marsh Industries is the UK market leader in domestic off mains drainage systems. The


company manufactures sewage, drainage and water recycling products, supplying major UK builders and civil engineering merchants across the UK and beyond. Regularly specified by major contractors and institutions such as the National Trust, English Heritage, British Waterways, RSPCA and the Environment Agency, Marsh Industries manufactures all of its own products in the UK to the highest quality and performance standards.
