Vent-Axia has expanded its Dudley Manufacturing centre, located on the Blackbrook Valley Industrial Estate, Narrowboat Way.

The expansion increases capacity to support the anticipated uptick in demand for low-carbon ventilation. This significant investment provides Vent-Axia with a dedicated factory for its commercial and industrial ventilation range, alongside new equipment, additional warehouse space, and new members of staff, adding to its production team. These improvements will enhance production times and allow customers to benefit from shorter lead times.

As part of the expansion, Vent-Axia has increased production line capacity for its commercial and industrial ventilation products to meet increased demand for commercial products. A new production flow line now provides a streamlined production sequence moving products step-by-step through each stage of manufacture, boosting efficiency and increasing output at the Dudley site. Meanwhile, the additional warehouse space allows for greater stockholding of both finished units and parts.

“We are delighted to announce the expansion of our Dudley manufacturing facilities. The Future Homes Standard is to be published in the Autumn, and alongside this, we expect to see an uplift in Part L and Part F of the Building Regulations. This will drive demand for low-carbon ventilation. At Vent-Axia, our new Dudley facilities will ensure we are prepared and that customers will benefit from our increased capacity and the ability to order on demand direct from stock for fast delivery,” said Jason Pendlebury, Vent-Axia Sales Director – Commercial & Industrial.
