Pilkington Invests In Bristol

A Pilkington Building Products UK product story

Pilkington Processing and Merchanting UK has invested £3 million into relocating its Bristol branch to a brand new manufacturing and distributing centre at Imperial Park, Hartcliffe, Bristol.

As part of its constant drive to improve its comprehensive range of products and services for its customers, Pilkington Processing and Merchanting UK has invested £3 million into relocating its Bristol branch to a brand new manufacturing and distributing centre at Imperial Park, Hartcliffe, Bristol.

Fully operational from Tuesday 26th August, the new, purpose built Pilkington Bristol branch will enable the company to offer and stock a much wider range of Pilkington products and provide an even better service to its customers.

Creating more than 20 new jobs for the area, the new branch replaces the former cramped 50-year old city centre site and benefits from a toughening line and additional edging and bevelling equipment.

The toughening line enables Pilkington Bristol to provide a one stop shop for both stock and toughened glass.

David Beaver, Pilkington Bristol general manager commented on the move: "Our new premises have been carefully planned to ensure that they offer a much more efficient working environment and allow far more convenient access for our customers.

The increase in space now enables us to stock a bigger and better range and the new equipment means that we can offer an even greater variety of products.".
