Pics: Hilbert Bron The company has in recent years added distributors in 24 countries and its sales have quite literally gone through the roof. As a result of this phenomenal growth, it needs to increase its capacity. “We will also be working towards our ISO:9001 certification,” says Simon Smith, adding, “We want to create a state-of-the-art facility which reflects the pride we have in our brand.” The new facility will add benefits to customers, such as faster delivery times and better customer service, and with increased capacity, customers can expect even more growth from Q products. “Local sales have driven the increase in production capacity, particularly in the industrial end user market segment,” explains Smith. The company will be installing three new Pamasol Aerosol filling lines along with a number of new and up to date equipment.
