A Teesside washroom supplier has invested in state-of-the-art machinery and expanded its warehouse after investing tens-of-thousands of pounds in the site.
Billingham-based NYMAS has invested in a new forklift truck, as well as a conveyor system, and vacuum lifting equipment to improve efficiency at its warehouse.
The company, which supplies Document M compliant washroom packs, has also invested in 40 metres of gravity conveyors.
The changes in the warehouse have allowed NYMAS to efficiently stock products through the reconfiguration of the racking, which has increased its pallet spaces form 900 to more than 1,500.
The development was supported by £47,347 from the England European Regional Development Fund, via Tees Valley Business Compass.
Managing director Craig Anderson said: “At NYMAS, our main priority is customer care, which is why we’re committed to continually improving our client experience and these developments will do just that.
“I would like to say a special thank you to all of our staff members for helping us to complete this refurb. Without their fantastic effort and hard work, we would not be where we are today.
“We are incredibly excited about the future of NYMAS and are now looking to pursue further investments to improve our internal processes so we can develop better and faster ways to meet our customers’ needs.”
Stephen Heslop, business development director, added: “We have big growth ambitions for the next three years and this refurb has helped to set the foundations in place so we can achieve our goals.”
The expanded warehouse was opened at an official ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen.
Mr Houchen said: “It was fantastic to meet the really talented team at NYMAS and officially open their newly-refurbished warehouse. I even got the chance to try the new equipment for myself.
“Thanks to funding provided by Tees Valley Business Compass, NYMAS is now experiencing growth and creating jobs for local people. They are another example of a thriving business which are so important to the Tees Valley economy.
“Since I was elected, I have made it a priority to support our SMEs and help them invest, grow and create jobs, and I am delighted the funding we have provided has helped another business do just that.”
