Manufacturer plots move to new home
A vacuum lifting equipment manufacturer is to relocate to Shrewsbury’s Vanguard Park to expand and grow its business.
Danvac has bought the last remaining unit of the Plot 19 development at the trade park at Battlefield, which has been developed by Morris Properties.
The materials handling company, which works with the glass, metal, wood and concrete industries, has been based at Morris’s Centurion Park for four years. It expects to move to the new 2,070sq ft premises in August after completing an extensive fit-out.
Director Dan Wheeler said: “We always planned to buy a property and this location and unit size are ideal. We are looking forward to the move and continuing to grow and invest in new jobs and products.
“We have doubled the number of employees in the last six years and expect to create more jobs in early 2018.”
Danvac produces bespoke vacuum units for specific applications plus off the shelf units. It also provides equipment for hire and offers inspection, testing and servicing.
Vanguard Park’s Plot 19 development has ten units totalling about 25,000sq ft and all have now been sold.
Liz Lowe, head of estates at Morris Properties, said: “We are delighted we can assist Danvac in its future growth as we take pride in finding property solutions for our existing tenants."
Toby Shaw of Towler Shaw Roberts who marketed the units on behalf of Morris Properties, said: “Vanguard continues to prove extremely popular with this being the last available unit in this phase.”
