AVANTI Conveyors has expanded with the opening of an additional factory in the town of Glossop, Derbyshire.
The firm explained that Glossop was once a busy hub for cotton and paper production. In 1887 Jubilee Mill opened to house Olive and Partington’s Turnlee Paper Mill. The original mill closed in the 1960s and the site was then used by a local textile business.
The new site is now home to several assembly functions for Avanti, continuing the tradition of paper-related production at Jubilee Mill as a business that designs and manufactures machinery and software for the paper packaging industry.
Avanti Conveyors has already operated from several smaller commercial units in High Peak for 35 years and was keen to stay local and expand some of its operations into this 20,000 sq ft unit.
MDÂ Simon Mander said, “The move to Glossop allows us the scope to increase the production area whilst retaining our local skilled employees.”
