New Chinese factory now fully operational
Strix Group Plc (AIM: KETL), the global leader in the design,
manufacture and supply of kettle safety controls and other
complementary water temperature management components, is pleased
to announce that the opening ceremony for its new factory within
Zengcheng district in Guangzhou, China, took place on Friday 27
August 2021 and that manufacturing is fully operational. The new
factory will double the Group's current manufacturing capacity
enabling it to grow the business and deliver its stated strategy of
doubling revenues over the next five years. Efficiencies and
further in-sourcing arising from the new manufacturing facility are
expected to have a positive effect on margins.
The decision to invest in the construction of a new factory was
taken by the Board in 2018. The land was successfully purchased in
the summer of 2019 and external construction work began in late
2019 completing in December 2020. Production and assembly lines
were then installed facilitating the commencement of operations.
The project has been completed on budget and to timetable.
Mark Bartlett, Chief Executive Officer, said:
"This is a landmark moment in the history of Strix. I would like
to thank everyone who helped in the construction of this factory ,
it is an outstanding achievement that has been accomplished, and
all executed during a global pandemic, remaining on time and
budget. I also want to thank all of our associates for ensuring our
manufacturing, customer service and our quality never once
deteriorated during the transition.
"I am extremely proud of what Strix has achieved since we listed
on AIM in 2017 and this marks a significant milestone to support
our commitment to double the Group's revenues over the next five
years."
