Coupled with investment in new plant and machinery, the move will see Coolkit roughly quadruple manufacturing capacity to meet demand within the year. The second expansion comes in response to a 42% increase in sales in 2015, on top of 47% increase in 2014.
The increase in manufacturing capacity will improve order turnaround times through enhanced processes and increased vehicle holding capacity, with space for over 200 vehicles onsite at any one time.
Commenting on the expansion, CoolKit managing director Rupert Gatty, said: “The past two years have been exceptional for CoolKit and this move puts us in an excellent position to achieve further growth. As well as increasing our manufacturing capabilities and improving our already impressive order fulfilment times, the further capacity allows us to seek out yet further sales by expanding into new markets both in the UK and internationally.
“We can only give credit to the skills, dedication and commitment of our entire staff for our ongoing success, which we believe is proof that East Lancashire is a great place to do business.”
