Pennine poised for growth after move to new, larger premises

When a business reaches a certain point of success, it often comes to a crucial decision – to continue operations in the same facility or relocate to a larger one. Pennine Industrial Equipment chose the latter, and has moved to a new facility that is 50% larger than its previous one.

Pennine has been in operation for 55 years, constantly expanding its services, client base and staff. The old facility was in a quiet residential area, but the company eventually outgrew it as it began producing more and expanding its client base. It became more and more difficult to accommodate the growing workforce, equipment and inventory and the company needed a facility that could meet all of its needs and allow it to grow even further.

After careful evaluation of the options, Pennine decided to relocate to a facility that was 50% larger than its previous one. This was a major decision that involved a lot of planning, preparation and execution. The company had to consider factors such as location, accessibility, construction costs and more. It took several months of research and negotiations before the perfect facility was found that met all of Pennine’s requirements.

The relocation process was a challenge, but Pennine was well-prepared for it. It created a detailed relocation plan that included timelines, budgets, logistics and contingencies. It also communicated extensively with staff, clients, vendors and partners to ensure a smooth transition. The actual move took several weeks, during which the company had to carefully pack, transport and unpack all of its equipment, inventory and furniture.

But despite the challenges, the benefits of relocating to a larger facility have already started to pay off. Some of the most notable advantages Pennine has experienced so far include:

Increased capacity: Pennine’s new facility is 50% larger than our old one, which means the company now has more room to accommodate its growing workforce, equipment and inventory. It has added more workstations, storage areas and meeting rooms, which has improved productivity and efficiency. Pennine has also been able to invest in new equipment and technology that it couldn’t have accommodated in our old facility.

Improved workflow: The new facility has been designed to optimise workflow and communication. Dedicated areas have been created for different departments, which has reduced noise and distractions.

Expansion opportunities: Moving into a larger facility has allowed Pennine to explore new growth opportunities. It is now able to stock more products, expand its services and reach new markets. The company has already seen an increase in demand for its services since relocating, which has motivated it to continue to innovate and improve.

Overall, relocating to a larger facility has been a transformative experience for Pennine’s business. It has allowed the company to overcome the limitations of its old facility and take its operations to the next level. It has invested in infrastructure, equipment and personnel that will help the company grow and succeed in the years to come.

In conclusion, relocating to a larger facility has been a bold move for the business, but one that has paid off. Pennine is proud of its new facility, and excited about the possibilities it presents. As a result, Pennine is looking forward to continuing to serve its clients in a modern, efficient and innovative environment.

There were obviously some obstacles to overcome during the moving process, but Pennine focused on continuing to manufacture its chains and sprockets whilst moving to the newer site; this allowed for a near seamless transition that caused minimal disruption to customers and partners.

In addition to the new premises, Pennine has chosen to give its longstanding logo a new, modern look. The old logo, recognised by customers, partners and suppliers from around the globe, has been replaced with a much cleaner, slicker logo that has a modern look, more befitting a company that has decided to move forward with every other aspect of itself.

In all, Pennine’s move to a bigger premises shows a strong commitment to the future of the company, its commitment to the glass industry, and its commitment to provide the highest possible standard of chain through continuous investment and development of its goods and manufacturing techniques.
