Tentec Facility Expansion Underway

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Thanks to ever-increasing sales and a newly extended product range, West Bromwich based engineering firm Tentec’s plans for expansion to their existing premises are now well underway. The company designs, manufactures and supplies bolt tightening equipment for a wide range of industries including oil and gas, wind energy, power generation and the general engineering market.

“We have seen year-on-year growth in our business both from the UK and globally,” explains Mike Gethings, Managing Director at Tentec. “Consequently, we are investing in upgrading both our QA and IT facilities to cope with the increasing demands on our engineering team and their expertise.”

Not only will the additional 20,000 square feet of space at the company’s headquarters in the West Midlands provide more space for the QA and IT Departments, but the current manufacturing facility will be also expanded. 

Building work has now started and will be finished by the end of the summer.
