A company, which designs, manufactures, and supplies safety critical products used in the petrochemical sector, has invested more than USD 5M (GBP 3.2M) in its North Wales site.
Protectoseal produces innovative Flame Arresters and Pressure Relief Valves.
The company’s products are used to enhance process safety and provide explosion protection in some of the world’s most challenging industrial environments.
Protectoseal has made the investment in its site in Holywell, Flintshire in manufacturing capabilities and capacities to halve its lead times and meet the increasing global demand for its products.
In 2022, the business acquired UK-based Elmac Technologies which saw it increase its product range and manufacturing capabilities. The latest round of investments has been made in their US, UK, and Indian sites and has focussed on improving production capabilities and efficiencies.
Lew Bingham, managing director of Protectoseal in the UK, said: “The acquisition has improved the company’s global reach and internal infrastructure. We have now been able to build on this platform and enhance our manufacturing capabilities so we can provide customers with a broader range of products suitable for a wide variety of applications and industries.
“Our investments in the latest technology have also allowed us to deliver innovative products that are more efficient, reliable, and durable, giving customers a competitive edge in terms of both purchase and operating costs, as well as performance.”
The Protectoseal Company was established in 1925 and is based in Bensenville, Illinois, US.
