The UK subsidiary of wire rope manufacturer Talurit is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
Set up in 1999 Talurit UK is based in Barnsley, where it has moved on three occasions to cope with its ongoing expansion. The first being a 220 square metre, facility, the company then moved to a 930 square metre warehouse, but before long it was too small and the engineering department was obliged to move to a seperate 500 square metre building. After three years of operating from two facilities, the two teams were reunited under the same roof in 2017 in the current 2,800 square metre headquarters building, which houses 21 employees.

Since our establishment, we have remained true to our core values of delivering innovative solutions and unparalleled service to our customers. This anniversary is a celebration of our achievements as a team. Looking forward, we will keep improving to the benefit of our customers."

The celebrations included lunch with the group chief executive, Victor Lindh, with plans in late summer to invite customers and suppliers to the facility and explore the product range. Lindh said: “We are very proud of the contributions Talurit UK has made to the group over the past 25 years. The team in Barnsley is fantastic, and we look forward to many more years of success together."
