1 min read

Workplace and storage equipment manufacturer Bott has won a significant order with a major Bristol-based aerospace company to fit out 21 workshops within its new production facility.

The order will see Bott provide further storage and workspace equipment for a new engineering test centre and materials laboratory. The new building will become the main test centre and production facility for defence aircraft parts, including components of the Eurofighter Typhoon. Bott will spend one week fitting out a 1,250 sq ft work area consisting of 21 separate workshops, inspection and storage rooms after quoting through its regional distributor, Axis South West. More than 60 cupboards, heavy duty drawer cabinets and 170 m of workbenches from Bott’s workspace equipment range will be installed. “We are delighted to continue our relationship with the UK’s leading aerospace companies. We have assisted with custom installations via distributors throughout the UK and to be involved in fitting out this new centre is a great vote of confidence in the Bott team and our product range,” said Bott regional manager Paul Maynard. The cupboards are from Bott’s DS range, and the order includes a range of bespoke cantilever legs designed to increase the ergonomic effectiveness of the units for technicians. The worktops are comprised of Bott’s standard scratch-resistant range and a number of 1.2 mm zinc-plated heat-resistant steel worktops for use under high-performance ovens.
