Teekay Couplings Increases Manufacturing Floor Space
Leading UK specialist pipe coupling manufacturer Teekay Couplings Ltd. has recently acquired new premises in Milton Keynes, UK, increasing current manufacturing floor-space by 80%. The new premises will accommodate Final Assembly, Production Testing and Despatch Departments.
Furthermore, the new premises will also include storage facilities for housing in excess of 20,000 pipe couplings. According to joint MD Ian Webb, the new acquisition meets the expanding global business potential in five key sectors – marine, water, civil engineering, building services and industrial. “Our customer base in all key commercial areas will benefit directly, being able to order standard items off-the-shelf. Shortened lead times and increased product availability will offer greater purchasing flexibility to our customers.”
The Teekay Couplings Visitor Centre will provide a unique working environment where customer product training and project analysis can be easily undertaken. The company was formed in 1961 and began producing pipe couplings in 1975. Today it produces more than 250,000 couplings a year.
