AMP - Advanced Manufacturing Park

Derbyshire based Carbolite is the latest business to join the growing number of world-class companies located at the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham.

The global manufacturer of electric laboratory and industrial ovens has taken a unit within the Evolution @ the AMP development, joining a unique cluster of high-tech occupiers, from some of the more established pioneers in R&D such as Dormer Tools and Struers as well as the innovative newer breed of companies such as Polymer Techniques, Iidea and Xeros.

Dan Bagshaw, Facilities and Materials Manager at Carbolite, said: "One of the main attractions of expanding to Evolution @ AMP was the ability to leverage the existing resources already on the park and engage with other like-minded business, whilst retaining our existing premises in the Hope Valley."

Philippa Hedley, Sector Growth Manager - Advanced Manufacturing & Materials at AMP said: "We are delighted to welcome Carbolite as our latest occupier at AMP.  The business they are in is perfectly suited to the units they have taken and we're sure their base with us will be beneficial in terms of nurturing business growth.

"Locating on the AMP provides collaboration and supply chain opportunities with world leading R&D and production companies including; Rolls-Royce, Castings Technology International, TWI and the University of Sheffield's AMRC with Boeing and Nuclear AMRC."
