Sales Director Philip Clarke highlighted the advantages of the relocation, stating, “Our new premises will enhance our ability to do what we do best, help our customers to enhance their profitability by improving lead times, working with them to improve machine reliability and energy efficiency. The new, enhanced Grimsby location is also well-positioned to service the local area and crucially is still equipped with an experienced customer service team.
The move will significantly bolster BRT Industrial Services’ capacity to promptly supply vital components such as bearings, belts, electric motors, and fluid power products tailored for both process and heavy industrial applications. This strategic shift in location will undeniably have a positive impact on Grimsby-based businesses, ensuring a more efficient and reliable service.
The relocation follows the September 2020 acquisition of the industrial business of the BRT Group by Antifriction Components, in a deal that made Antifriction one of the UK’s largest specialist distributors of its type, employing nearly 120 staff. Antifriction is part of Milan-based Gruppo Bianchi, one of Europe’s largest specialist distributors of critical moving parts.
This investment in new premises reflects a strong belief in the potential growth of the Grimsby industrial sector. The Enterprise Village business hub provides an optimal location for the expanded facility, offering accessibility, convenience, and ample space for increased stock capacity.
Local businesses, particularly those in sectors like manufacturing, wood processing, food production, waste management, energy, and utilities, are poised to reap significant benefits from this development. The improved stock availability ensures that critical parts can be sourced promptly, minimizing costly production downtime, further underpinning the company’s focus on efficiency, reliability, and an unwavering commitment to Making Industry More Profitable.
BRT Industrial Services’ Grimsby branch can now be found at Unit E5, The Enterprise Village, Prince Albert Gardens, Grimsby DN31 3AG. All existing contact details, including phone (01472 311188) and email (grimsby@brt-industrial.co.uk), remain unchanged.
