Counterplas announces major expansion plans with Borche

Counterplas have announced a major expansion program which sees a move to a new 68000 square foot factory, with additional investment of in excess of £750,000 in new plant and production machinery to meet increased demand.

Counterplas are also accredited with the following Quality Standards, ISO9001 Quality Management and ISO14001 Environmental Management.

Paul Isherwood, Managing Director Counterplas, said: “We have been pleased with the performance of our new Borche machines together with the support provided by Borche UK.”
