INVESTING IN UK MANUFACTURING

The quality and technical competence of UK engineering and manufacturing.

Although manufacturing output in the UK has declined over recent years, the quality and technical competence of UK engineering has never been higher. Ormandy’s world class manufacturing facilities, located in Bradford and its product expertise have secured our longevity in the manufacturing sector. This year we will celebrate 125 years of design and manufacture of high quality, bespoke heating and cooling solutions.

 
Specialising in bespoke design with rigorous quality standards, our tailored designs enable our products to be built to suit spacial restrictions, with connection sizes, locations, and quantities to suit the customers’ specific requirements. Project-specific design means that vessels can be tailored to the application, rather than accepting a compromise in terms of size, storage capacity and thermal performance. In todays energy aware environment, delivering an exact solution can save energy and deliver the optimum whole-life cost.
 
Shorter lead times are often essential to the construction industries tight deadlines. Buying in the UK ensures deliveries require lower carbon footprint and can lead to a quicker, more reliable turnaround. Ormandy are committed to achieving the highest possible environmental standards within the business, both in terms of the materials and processes used in manufacturing and in the energy performance and efficiency of our product as required by BS EN ISO 14001 and the Pressure Equipment Directive.
 
Our open-door policy allows us to invite customers to our state-of-the-art factory for FAT testing or to check on the progress of their project. Customers unable to visit, can benefit from our experienced sales engineers who are on hand to visit and discuss their project within their local geographic area.
