The facility produces bulk handling equipment including flexible screw conveyors, tubular cable conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems, bulk bag dischargers, bulk bag conditioners, bulk bag fillers, manual dumping stations, drum/box/container tippers, weigh batching/blending systems and automated plant-wide systems integrated with new or existing processes.
Flexicon was previously located in Herne Bay, Kent, where it occupied a primary facility and expanded by adding a manufacturing plant.
"The Whitstable facility not only expands our total area, but consolidates it under one roof with large open spaces, significantly improving production flow and manufacturing capacity,” said Keith Bourton, managing director.
Flexicon Europe is part of the Flexicon Group headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA, with other operations in Brisbane, Australia, Port Elizabeth, South Africa and Santiago, Chile.
