New manufacturing plant for East Yorkshire firm

A manufacturing firm in Goole is expanding after investing £261,000 in a new building to build on its growth.

Leigh Tec Systems, which manufactures ventilation products including commercial kitchen canopies, ventilated ceilings, ductwork and fans, employs 22 people and expects to create two more jobs on the back of the investment.

The business has a £1.7m turnover and has seen an increase in demand for their products, leading to the firm re-investing their profits into state of the art equipment.

Part of the old site was demolished to create space for the new 45 by 10 metre building, making way for the purchase of an Esprit Plasma Cutter and an Amada 4Kw Laser Cutter, which complements their existing CNC Punch Machine.

Robert Leigh, managing director at Leigh Tec Systems, said: “We are excited that our new manufacturing plant is now completed giving us faster and better production rates. It has also enabled us to expand the ductwork side of the business and has opened up new opportunities to carry out subcontract work for businesses such as fabricators.”
