After operating as an independent unit for over 10 years, the rebuild and repair operation has been integrated within the main Taylor operation.
 The new purpose-built rebuild and repair facility at Oak Park, Worcestershire, will give the operation a faster turnaround, Taylor has said |
The company has invested 100,000 in a new purpose-built facility at its Oak Park site, which will extend Taylor's re-build capability by 1,000 units per week, the company said.
Peter Selkirk, chief executive of Taylor, said the move “makes sense”, as it allowed the company to invest in new processes, including a drying oven, speeding up the processing of containers.
The move also sees Taylor using more environmentally-friendly water-based paints.
Logistics
Mr Selkirk said: “As we now have increased capacity, we are able to turn around rebuild containers within five days, and all round operational logistics have improved. This includes not only transportation of containers to and from customers, but also the logistics of handling materials, such as spare parts, between manufacturing and rebuild operations.”
Taylor's rebuild operation was originally set up to maintain and repair Taylor containers, but the service now extends to rebuilding and maintaining most popular brands of waste and recycling containers.
Peter Lashford, who now runs the rebuild operations, said: “All containers processed through the facility, whether Taylor products or not, receive the same treatment. This includes shot blasting, refinishing in any BS or RAL coded colour coating, the fitting of genuine Taylor components and the application of liveries when required.”
