Engineering Excellence Growth
as VA Technology opens
a New Site in Telford, UK
VA Technology is excited to announce the expansion of its operations with the addition of a new 25,976 sq. ft facility in Telford (UK). This significant increase in capacity will enable VA Technology to better serve its growing customer base and meet the increasing demand for shell-making equipment.
The new site, located at Stafford Park, Telford (UK), will serve as a hub for sales & support, systems assembly, and test & validation. This expansion reflects our commitment to advancing our capabilities in engineering and manufacturing.
Gareth Bonner, Director: Customer Support at VA Technology, will now be based at this site denoted as VA Technology STS. “This is a pivotal time for the business. We have added a 25,976 sq. ft site in Telford (UK) for the build and test & validation of our shellroom systems. This now brings our total capacity to more than 100,000 sq. ft with a team of more than 170 employees worldwide. Our STS facility is logistically well-suited – positioned only five minutes away from our EMT site to allow seamless collaboration and expertise sharing between the two locations to ensure project success,” said Gareth Bonner.
As VA Technology continues to scale its operations, the company has expanded its team to match growing capacity. Renowned for its innovation and operational excellence, VA Technology is strategically positioned for continued growth under the leadership of three seasoned manufacturing managers – Jos Coleman, Max Jellicoe, and Andy Vernon. These leaders bring a wealth of experience in team management and manufacturing, enriching VA Technology’s capabilities to deliver complex projects with precision and efficiency. Gareth Bonner commented on this strategic growth, “The strengthening of our field team of mechanical fitters, electrical fitters and technicians has enabled us to provide high levels of support to our customers worldwide. We are proud of the multi-skilled team we have developed internally to ensure we can offer expertise from design right through the installation and post-sales service maintenance – all under one roof.”
