Valve manufacturer Frese sees sales leap

THE UK arm of Danish temperature control valve group Frese, has reported strong sales growth in the first six months of this year.

Frese, which is based in Burscough, Lancashire, said turnover to  the end of June rose to £1.5m, up from £1.1m a year ago. The 36%n year-on-year increase was above target.

The business has supplied major developments such as The Shard of Glass at London Bridge and is expecting a record year.

Having recently consolidated sales, assembly and distribution operations at its Lancashire facility, the business employs 10 staff in the UK, but aims to increase that number by the end of the year to meet current demand.

Managing director Stephen Hart  “Major projects won this year have kept us busy and seen turnover increase in the first six months.  As the world’s leading provider of pressure independent flow and temperature control valves, we have extensive product and application knowledge, which gives clients confidence and peace of mind when choosing us as valve supplier for energy efficient pumping systems.  

“In addition, we commit extensive resource and money into continued product innovation and always offer first class customer service.  It all adds up to a great client offering that will ensure we will continue to grow in the future.”

Frese was founded in Denmark in 1944 and opened its UK offices in Burscough, Lancashire, in 2004
