Facility Expansion for Bowers Group

SOME 30 YEARS AFTER moving to its Heanor works, Bowers Electricals has announced that, due to sustained business growth, it is further expanding its production and manufacturing facilities at the site, acquiring three additional production units.

The new 1,200m2 facility sits adjacent to the existing yard and warehouse facilities at Bowers Electricals Heanor Headquarters. The expansion adds over 900m2 of light industrial working and storage area and 230m2 of office facilities, all with direct access to the already substantial 6,042m2 site and facilities.

Talking about the facility expansion, the Bowers Group CEO Michael Bowers stated: “This is a substantial investment focussed on meeting the needs of our customers. By increasing our stock levels of distribution transformers, HV & LV switchgear and motor products, we can offer improved lead times to our expanding customer base.

“I see this as a tremendous opportunity for Bowers in terms of delivering its current growth strategy. We will also relocate our HV contracting division, E.P.E.S., into the new facility to allow closer integration between the two businesses.”

Bowers Electricals moved to its Heanor site in early 1994 and is celebrating 30 years at the facility. Over the years, many changes have been associated with the development of its transformer and switchgear offer, the growth of the motor and rewind business, and the development of a comprehensive service and maintenance business.

Michael added: “This is an exciting development for the Bowers Group and wouldn’t be possible without the hard work of all our staff and management team”.
