Thorite opens West Midlands branch
Thorite has expanded its sales territory into the West Midlands with the opening of a new sales and service centre in Brierley Hill, near Dudley. Trading under the name LL Fluid Power – a wholly owned division of Thorite, the new centre reportedly provides full service and support facilities. Thorite prides itself on being the UK’s only complete compressed air, pneumatics and process specialist and is an official distributor for well over 200 major fluid power manufacturers, including Norgren, SMC, Festo, Parker, Burkert, Aro and Piab, the bulk of whose products are available on next day delivery.
The new sales and service centre joins nine other Thorite specialist outlets in Yorkshire, Lancashire and the North East. Speaking of the new venture Stephen Wright, Thorite’s managing director said: “With the opening of the Brierley Hill operation we are well placed to provide the best in pneumatics products and system design to a vital area of the UK’s manufacturing and processing heartland. Expanding into the West Midlands has been a key objective for some time and once the opportunity arose we sealed the deal very quickly in the run-up to Christmas. Although the economic climate remains tough, the world hasn’t ended in spite of the doom and gloom in currency markets, so we decided to go ahead with this latest venture which strengthens Thorite’s position as a national operator.”
