adminMarpak have hit the ground running after planning permission was approved by Leeds City Council for the development of their Brown Avenue manufacturing site.
Steel workers were fully prepared once the foreman had received the approval and within a few days had erected the steel fame that will house four of the new extrusion lines at the head of the expansion plans. With a strict deadline workers on the new site have been working tremendously hard to ensure that the building is ready for the new machinery and that production can start on schedule. The increased production will help serve domestic clients and will be an operational focus point for the trials of new products that will allow Marpak to enter new markets.
