Boniface Engineering of Thetford in Norfolk, one of the UK's leading suppliers of recovery vehicles and part of Miller Industries Towing Inc., has recently expanded its manufacturing facility with the opening of a new 1,700 sq m finishing shop, parts warehouse and administration centre. This major expansion programme was necessary in order to meet strong demand for the company's extensive range of recovery vehicles from around the world.

 
The new facility, which is located alongside the existing 2,700 sq m premises, not only provides much needed space for product finishing but also allows Boniface the opportunity to centralise its £1.5M spare parts holding and strengthen its parts team. This has included the appointment of a co-ordinator tasked with providing customers with a direct order line on a 6 days per week basis.

Commenting on the expansion programme Michael Boniface said: “Despite the current recession we have enjoyed strong demand for our products and it was this consistent high level of activity that made it essential to streamline our manufacturing operation. Also, we are very much a global player in the recovery vehicle business and besides the need to cope with the existing workload, it was vital to make this significant investment in order to be prepared for future growth in our worldwide market.”
