New Presses

New Presses

We are thrilled to begin the new year 2022 expanding our production levels as we welcome an additional 2 new mould presses to our factory!

This means increased capacity for our production levels to keep up with customer demand. The new presses were restored and provided by Thompson & Son (Millwall) Ltd, which is run by the lovely brothers Bill & Andrew. We really appreciate all their invaluable knowledge and years of experience to supply us with our new equipment and get them up and running.

Thanks also to Maydean Ltd for all their electrical and mechanical expertise.

We now have 2 shiny new presses rolling out the Grommets to fulfil all your orders!

Grommets Ltd Have Got With The E Beat

We are very excited to have joined the Electric Vehicle (#EV) world, not only supplying our grommets to many companies producing the electric car battery , but now adding 2 new fully electric vehicles to our fleet … the Vauxhall Mokka E’s!

The new vehicles were supplied by Robin’s & Day Vauxhall dealership in Crawley, with special thanks to Raz for assisting us.

We have had them both wrapped with our new Grommets design thanks to The Sussex Sign Company and we are so pleased with the final look.

With our electric charging point we also had installed at our premises earlier this year, we can keep our new vehicles fully charged and on the road.
