New HQ to expand UK operations

A Rietschle Thomas product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 19, 2004

Rietschle Thomas is to further enhance its presence in the UK with a new head office in Alton (Hampshire).

Following the acquisition of Rietschle by Thomas Industries, and the integration of both companies' UK operations, Rietschle Thomas is to further enhance its presence in the UK with a new head office in Alton (Hampshire) which will house general management, sales, finance, and engineering functions.

Gareth Jones, Managing Director of Rietschle Thomas UK, says that the new head office in Alton is a key aspect of developing the substantial cross-marketing opportunities in the UK.

"It will provide all of our customers with a better resource and communications hub.

That will shorten the supply chain and offer a more rapid response, both to OEM designers and production facilities, as well as to our pump end users".

Jones says over 40 staff will be based at the new head office in Alton by the end of 2004.

"It's a purpose-built facility that will also offer central pump and spares warehousing, refurbishment and repair facilities".

Existing Rietschle Thomas buildings in Alton and in New Hythe (Kent) will be closed once the new facility is operational.

A new dedicated service centre will be opened in 2004, close to New Hythe, to increase service coverage in the South of England.

The existing Rietschle Thomas UK service centres in Cumbernauld, Tewkesbury and Leeds will also be upgraded during 2004.
