Vortex in April moved its European headquarters to a newly renovated industrial building near Darlington town centre. Founded in the USA 40 years ago, the company specialises in a wide range of valves and components for handling bulk solids. The UK operation, which is responsible for the corporation’s business activities in Europe, Asia, and Africa, this year celebrates its 10th anniversary.  “The new premises not only provide a great work environment for our employees, but offer a lot more room for growth,” commented managing director Travis Young. “We routinely host many agents and clients for training courses from all over the world, so the large conference room and product demonstration area are a welcome addition.”

 

“Ten years ago Vortex had a huge mountain to climb. When we started [in the UK] we had only a handful of customers throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. Despite this, we knew if we could assist our customers by solving their processing problems, whilst striving to delivering excellent service and response, Vortex would find its place in these new markets,” added international sales director Laurence Millington. Vortex’s new UK offices are located at Building 1J, Enterprise House, Valley North Street, Darlington, DL1 1GY. www.vortexglobal.com
