Manufacturer invests £2m in ‘revolutionary’ production expansion,

ProSpeed, a manufacturer of premium roof racks and off-road accessories, has made a £2m investment in cutting-edge machinery, infrastructure, and processes aimed at redefining the future of roof rack production.

It represents a leap forward in production efficiency and product quality.

Based in York, the company’s newly acquired machinery is fully operational and boasts the capacity to make 7,000 products annually, amounting to a 6,900% increase in productivity.

It means the business can now produce a modular roof rack component every three minutes, setting a new industry standard for speed and precision.

The new machinery and processes have been operational for just over a month and have since been gradually scaling up to maximum output.

Managing director, Olly Marshall, said: “We’ve always strived for perfection in our products.

“This £2m investment is not just about increasing our production capacity; it represents a significant upgrade in the quality and diversity of our products, and it empowers us to deliver roof racks that are stronger, lighter, and compatible with almost every vehicle on the planet.”

ProSpeed adds it has also made strides in sustainable practices.

It has pioneered innovative shipping processes that virtually eliminate packaging wastage, enabling them to reach more countries than ever before, despite rising international postage costs.

Products are now shipped in boxes that are over 90% smaller than before, answering logistical challenges and delivering clear environmental benefits.

ProSpeed says it is currently in the process of securing multiple patents.
