Palfinger UK is to open a new service centre in London near Junction 1A of the M25 ring road.
Its location will enable the company to cover most businesses in central and greater London. Furthermore, it is within relatively easy reach all four London regional airports and the larger South Eastern seaports.
The 1,216 square metre building has been acquired on a long term lease, and when fitted out, will feature eight dedicated workshop bays with an overhead crane, secure yard space, crane testing facilities, modern offices and meeting rooms and ample parking. The new facility will work in tandem with the company’s workshops in Devizes, Bradford, Falkirk and Leicester.
Over the next few months, Palfinger will recruit staff, organise signage for the external façade and fit out the building’s interior. Palfinger UK distributes Palfinger loader cranes and Epsilon recycling and forestry cranes along with Palfinger Hook and Skip Loaders across the country.
The company is part of the TH White group and rebranded as Palfinger UK, after acquiring the Palfinger crane dealer for Scotland Outreach Truck in 2018. The company provides a wide range of services, including in-house crane mounting, custom bodybuilding, and full after sales service.
Managing director Stuart Todd said: “Adding our new London service centre is an exciting investment which represents a significant milestone in Palfinger UK’s ongoing commitment to representing the Palfinger brand and deliver world class support to our customers. Our senior leadership team has been working hard to bring this project to fruition for some time, and this step provides a long awaited presence in this key location and will allow us to better meet the needs of more businesses across the region.”
