Re-investing for the future at EJOT UK with multi-million pound extension project
EJOT UK is entering an exciting new era with a major competitive advantage as a project to double the size of its site and extend its technical capabilities is now complete.
The business has invested more than £6m in the future of its UK manufacturing, R&D, technical support and customer service in a project to expand its administrative, production and logistical facilities at Sherburn-in-Elmet near the Yorkshire city of Leeds. The project brings to fruition Mr Hans Werner Kocherscheidt’s ambition two decades ago, when he purchased the site with the intention of one day creating a world-class facility in Britain that would enable it to grow and support EJOT’s next generation of young product designers, engineers and logistics specialists.
EJOT UK focuses on providing high-performing fastening solutions for the building industry, along with numerous other construction applications, as well as advanced engineering fasteners predominantly for the automotive industry. It is a business with a local focus but a global outlook, creating engineered product solutions for clients across the world that are highly respected given the heritage and reputation associated with German and British manufacturing and engineering.
EJOT UK’s R&D team has developed market-specific fastening solutions that have gained traction in markets across the world. These include the patented EJOT Opticore fastener, which has been widely used for installing membrane faced composite panels now for over a decade, and EJObar. This multi-purpose bridging system was developed in partnership with an OEM specifically for flat roofs waterproofed using single ply membrane.
These advanced products help make EJOT UK a key protagonist in supporting global manufacturing and supply. And it is not only for supply to EJOT Group companies – the UK operation serves customers directly and through appointed distributors in the Asia-Pacific and Australasian regions, for example.
But with an ever expanding customer base, it was only a matter of time before its Sherburn-in-Elmet site could no longer provide the capacity needed by the team to seize the market opportunities they had developed. So, back in 2016, with the full support of EJOT Group, the UK management team made the proposal, and ultimately the decision, to embark on a programme to increase the scale of the site and create a state-of-the-art facility tailored very much to the needs of its core customer bases, with class-leading support for customer innovation.
In addition to providing extensive new manufacturing space and a logistical control centre that will increase storage capacity by 40%, the expansion also includes a state-of-the-art upgrade to its Applitec centre – already unique in the construction industry.
Unlike any testing and R&D facility available in the UK, this ‘application technology’ facility will be three times the size of the existing centre, providing a resource for multi-dimensional fastener testing and new product development in conjunction with OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers). The testing resources available here will include two new environmental testing laboratories where the long-term performance of EJOT products can be reliably assessed.
Robert Hardstaff, Managing Director at EJOT UK said: “This investment in our UK site represents a major step forward for EJOT, giving us a unique position in our local market – and increasingly on a global level – in respect of the levels of technical, logistical and sales support we can offer, with a strengthening of our manufacturing base.
“The resulting facility is a testament to Mr Kocherscheidt Snr’s foresight, and the backing of the EJOT Group management team all the way.
“Our ethos of ‘converting customer problems into product solutions’, both reactively and often proactively to prevent problems manifesting in the first place, requires us to have the right technical resources and quality procedures in place to meet whatever challenges our customers face. Our new facilities will enable us to do this better than ever before.”
The EJOT UK investment programme commenced well ahead of the implementation of a post-Brexit agreement, as part of its long term vision to provide market-leading support to UK customers whilst creating an EJOT Group manufacturing centre of excellence for many of its key products in Yorkshire. Rubber-stamped by EJOT Group after the Brexit deal was reached, progress continued despite the impacts of the pandemic and subsequent repocushion on supply chains and access to certain raw materials.
The extended facility will also create the ideal platform to develop EJOT UK’s future workforce and give it an additional 4,500 sq. m of operational space. In addition to expanding the production of EJOT’s core range of fasteners for both the construction and engineering sectors, the extended site will include a new facility for manufacturing certain key components of the LIEBIG range of heavy duty anchors - a brand the EJOT Group acquired from Finnish company Sormat in 2017.
Robert continues, “The same quality management systems that we adopt across all EJOT production facilities globally will apply throughout our extended factory here, which is one of the reasons the EJOT brand maintains its position at the forefront of our markets.
“When the Group purchased our Sherburn-in-Elmet site back in 2003, it was done so with a long term vision for the UK in mind, which is why a large site was chosen. As they knew, with time, we’d need room to grow. It is tremendous to see this vision fulfilled, boosting what many of our customers, OEM partners and professional associations already regard as a go-to resource for industry-wide training and meetings.
“The investment programme, however, represents so much more than just a building extension. It supports EJOT’s family business approach that drives our global strategy to continuously re-invest profits into the business and futureproof our employment needs by providing youth career opportunities in highly skilled and technical roles.”
EJOT UK has long been a firm advocate of investment in youth and currently has 15% of its UK HQ workforce benefitting from an apprenticeship or higher education programme in various formats. These apply to different areas of the business and range from technical services and quality management, through to engineering and manufacturing. Qualification goals are both vocational and degree level where participants attend college or university on a day release basis.
Everyone in the EJOT UK team also benefits from mentoring – one of the cornerstones of the company’s success globally. This facilitates the sharing of knowledge, advice and guidance by a combination of tutors, senior management and often employees that have already graduated through the system to continuously improve skills and build.
EJOT launches next generation BA Plus through-bolt range
Fastening technology specialist EJOT has upgraded its range of ETA-approved through-bolts – also known as anchor bolts or wedge anchors – with the launch of its new BA Plus range of Option 1 anchors, suitable for both cracked and non-cracked concrete applications.
The EJOT BA Plus range is a new generation of higher performing through-bolts which builds on the strengths of its established BA range to deliver additional benefits and new application potential. And, in addition to concrete, these torque-controlled expansion anchors are also suitable for installation in other hard base materials including natural stone.
The design of BA Plus allows the required installation torque to be achieved with 30-50% fewer revolutions than previously, and new M8 and M10 through-bolts can now be used for anchoring in to concrete which is up to 20mm thinner. The risk of on-site errors is minimised with a setting depth clearly marked to the thread and anchor length letter coding marked on every bolt head.
The BA Plus range provides through-bolts for all the most typical cracked and non-cracked concrete applications ≥ C20/25 up to the seismic Option 1 performance. Backed with the independent assurance of European Technical Assessments (ETAs), the range offers a dependable solution for numerous applications including steel structures, column base plates, heavy duty racking, cable racks, handrails and facades.
When specifying outside standard parameters EJOT provide on-site testing by a qualified EJOT engineer Zinc plated, hot dip galvanized, and A4 stainless steel BA Plus through-bolts are available, providing a solution for a wide range of applications including harbours and tunnels where the highest level of resistance to corrosion is required. Its design ensures easy installation, with no risk of damage to the thread when the bolt is hammered into position and an embedded sleeve that expands reliably as the bolt is tightened to the required torque. The M10 and M12 options are available in two different anchorage depths for extra versatility.
Richard Bowhay, Sales Manager for Building Fasteners at EJOT UK said: “The BA Plus represents an important enhancement in the performance capabilities of our through-bolts and gives installers a reliable and highly secure anchor solution for every type of concrete application – backed by the third-party assurance of ETA approval. It demonstrates collectively, the objectives of our technical teams worldwide in their capacity to regularly assess if and how we can advance the performance of construction fixings to give architects and building owners total peace of mind, as well as improving efficiency for installers.”
The BA Plus range is complemented by EJOT’s new range of through-bolts for Option 7 non- cracked concrete applications, BAC-NC, which provides a class-leading anchor for many other applications including warehouse racking and stadium seating, backed by the third party assurance of an ETA.
Full details about the Option 1 BA Plus range and the Option 7 BA-C NC through-bolt are available at www.ejot.co.uk, where the new brochure can also be requested.
As a global leading in construction fastening solutions, the EJOT UK team offers a wealth of technical support and specialist guidance to specifiers and installers to ensure they can achieve the right result when anchoring into cracked and non-cracked concrete every time.
