SPILSBY FACTORY EXPANDS AS MERGER COMPLETED
With the new merged company Tong Peal officially trading from
April 1, the manufacturing of vegetable handling machinery is being
concentrated at the Spilsby factory.
More than £200,000 has been spent already in expanding the
stores, design office and storage area, and with a work force of
130 the firm is busy meeting buoyant orders for its products.
When the merger between Tong Engineering and Peal Engineering
was announced in November, no redundancies were envisaged
and with the exception of employees who have opted to retire the
whole of the Peal workforce has now moved to Spilsby.
"We now have 50 per cent more production capacity at Spilsby,"
says Charles Tong, chairman and managing director of Tong Peal,
one of the leaders in UK and global markets. "As the business
expands, we shall also be placing more work, particularly
fabrication, with sub-contractors - both existing and new ones.
"In the domestic market we have secured major orders for
constructing new grading and packing lines for potatoes, onions,
carrots and a range of salad and fruit crops, while overseas our
machinery continues to be in demand especially with customers
seeking to match the high UK standards for the supply of fresh
produce."
