New move for Freeman

12 September 2011

Continuing global success has encouraged powder characterisation company Freeman Technology to relocate into new larger premises based in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire (UK).

The brand new 6 000 sq ft global HQ has been fitted out to meet the company's exact requirements for more manufacturing and office space and will house a 300 sq ft applications laboratory.

The move from Freeman Technology's previous home in historic buildings at the foot of the UK's famous Malvern Hills comes just over a decade after the company launched its first powder testing instrument. While sorry to leave behind the picturesque environment, Tim Freeman, director of operations, looks forward to establishing operations in Tewkesbury.

"I am delighted to be able to report that demand for the FT4 Powder Rheometer continues to grow around the world and across powder processing industries,' he said. "As a result, not only are we building more systems, but are continuing to invest in R&D and applications development. This new facility will enable us to scale up our manufacturing and R&D operations and continue to expand well into the future."
