Roxtec wins deal with listed Lancs firm

BURY-based cable seal manufacturer Roxtec UK has struck a deal to supply its sealing systems to a site extension at one of Britain’s biggest polymer manufacturers.

Roxtec managing director Graham O’Hare said the deal with FTSE 250 company Victrex involved Roxtec supplying fire and blast proof seals to a major upgrade of its production site at Thornton Cleveleys in Lancashire.

The new facilities are increasing production capacity by around 70% for Victrex’s PAEK polymers to fuel global demand across the transport, industrial and electronics sectors.

O’Hare said:“Roxtec makes the most advanced cable and pipe seals in the world,” said Mr O’Hare. “Here we were required to provide a solution which was superior to a typical firestop product.”

The value of thedeal has not been disclosed.
