Vegetable equipment manufacturer Tong Engineering has opened its new manufacturing facility in England after a three-year, two-phase construction project. The 90,000-square-foot factory includes new shot-blast, paint-spraying and powder-coating facilities, as well as high-speed fiber laser-cutting facilities to cut mild and stainless steel. In addition, the factory houses metal-preparation, fabrication and final-assembly departments, plus an area to store over 40 tons of spare parts and components.
The new facility, made up of three buildings, occupies a 7-acre site. It replaces the company’s former facility, located in the same town, which it utilized for almost 90 years.
Tong manufactures vegetable handling equipment for a range of vegetables including carrots, onions and potatoes.
