Arconic, the organisation which owns the Recoil brand, has doubled the size of its’ Telford operations turning it into a 100,000 sq ft business.

As well as Recoil, Arconic’s other brands include Huck, Marson, Camloc, SNEP and Simmonds.

This expansion is due to rapid growth across Arconic’s brands and in a variety of markets, with turnover expanding by about 45 per cent over the last two years.

A new “Shuttle” has been installed in the new premises which will house the Recoil stock in Telford, making picking and preparing shipments a much more streamline process.

The move into the second premises was partly an act of opportunism, said operations director Jonathan Craven, but it coincided with the company needing additional space to grow into.

“It felt like too good an opportunity to miss and it feels like we will be vindicated in this because it has come alongside growth in the business”.

Arconic employs about 130 people in Telford, and expects to be able to grow that number as it beds in its new building and continues the expansion of the business.

“We are in a position where the market has taken well to the new products we have and not only do we want the investment in manufacturing equipment, we know that is going to require people,” Mr Craven added.
