Technical director Shaun Peel said: “Our growth and demand, to cater to our international customers, through our export pursuits, has meant that we have kept our eyes out for a suitable space to physically expand.

The company’s original relocation to Rossendale came back in 2019 after it moved from Altham near Blackburn from a site in Accrington – 96% of its suppliers are based in Lancashire. The brand recently won the Valley at Work and Made in Rossendale trophies at the Rossendale Business Awards, as well as Company of the Year (Under £20m) at the Insider North West International Trade Awards. It was also a finalist in The Manufacturer MX Awards and are now in the running for a Red Rose Award in the county, along with others.
With over 40 year’s worth of combined experience, made up of a mix of designers and engineers, MattressTek, has maintained its positioning as an award-winning provider of quality, robust and reliable production lines for the bed industry and beyond – 70% of its range is exported.
MattressTek has just adapted its Spring Unbaler, RollPack, Border cutting/notching machines and Roll Slitting machines, as well as various conveyors (including the Shuttle) as we have installed them for brands here in the UK, as well as across the US.
