Bitzer UK has recently invested in its production facilities at the company’s Milton Keynes headquarters. These significant investments have been designed to improve production of LH condensing units, dressed for the UK market, and refrigeration racks that are built for other Bitzer Group subsidiaries, reveals the company’s press release.

The 2000 square metre production and warehousing facility has been redesigned so that over 30% of it is now dedicated to manufacturing. Additional LH condensing unit and supermarket rack production cells have been created together with a completely new production line layout, designed to improve process flows from goods inward to final despatch. Significant capital investments have also been made including new state-of-the-art pipe bending machinery, fume extraction equipment, task lighting, test booths and materials handling equipment. Additional production line personnel have also been recruited.

Operations Manager at Bitzer UK, Mark Sowden, comments: "Demand for our condensing units in the UK together with increased sales within the Bitzer Group of refrigeration racks, has underpinned our investments. This site, together with our operation in Grays, now gives us capacity to meet customer demand for the foreseeable future".
