FULTON’S MOVE TO NEW BRISTOL-BASED FACILITY WILL SEE PRESSURE VESSEL MANUFACTURING RETURN TO THE UK

Heat transfer specialist Fulton Limited has moved to a new 43,000 sq. ft. Bristol-based headquarters. The Fulton name has been synonymous with steam since 1949 when the company introduced the vertical tubeless steam boiler in the USA. The UK company, which was founded in Bristol in 1966, is now established as a leading manufacturer of thermal heat transfer systems for applications such as water heating, steam sterilisation and processing. Announcing the move, managing director Paul Richards says: “The move to the new facility, also in Bristol, will help us manage current demand, and plan for the future. The increased space will also allow us to introduce the latest, state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and the technologies that will enable Fulton to create the energy saving systems of the future.” He goes onto say that, as a result of the move, the manufacture of larger boiler pressure vessels for UK and Export markets will return to Bristol from Fulton’s facilities in China. The new UK headquarters, which creates a centre of excellence for the company’s heat transfer products, will provide comprehensive customer support, from applications advice and sales processing, through to delivery. Experienced teams are available to help with enquiries for the company’s range of thermal fluid, fuel-fired and electric steam boilers, hot water boilers and ancillary products. The site will also accommodate a new training and seminar facility created to enable qualified staff to keep customers up-to-date with the latest products and applications; and host the company’s recently announced City & Guild certified training courses, which offer a mix of theoretical and practical operational assignments. The new Fulton facility is located at 5 Fernhurst Road, Bristol, BS5 7FG. Telephone/fax numbers and email addresses are not affected by the move.
