Atplas Celebrates a Major Milestone with Building for Growth Event

Last Thursday, Atplas proudly celebrated a significant milestone in its journey at our Building for Growth event, with invited customers and AVK colleagues from across the UK. The occasion marked the official opening of our new office facilities and the latest phase of the company’s factory automation programme—an important step forward that reflects continued investment in growth, innovation, and the future of the business

The day began with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Managing Director James Fry and AVK UK Chairman Paul Hubbard, followed by tours of the factory and new offices. Since joining the AVK Group four years ago, the business has strengthened its capabilities through ongoing investment in people, technology, and infrastructure.  Guests saw first-hand how automation and continued investment in machinery are improving efficiency, increasing capacity, and supporting growing demand across the UK water industry.
