With over 300 employed, it recently expanded and opened another warehouse at Riverside in Northampton with further expansion plans this year in Wellingborough showing further testament to the success of KROHNE Ltd.

Operations Director, Billy Aitchison said:

‘Participating in National Manufacturing Day 2024 is important because it celebrates and promotes the significance of manufacturing in our economy, highlights career opportunities, fosters innovation, and encourages collaboration among manufacturers, educators, and communities. It's a chance to showcase advancements, inspire the next generation of manufacturers, and strengthen the industry's presence’.

To make it easy to see what’s going on across the local area, Make UK has created a dedicated microsite www.nationalmanufacturingday.org where companies taking part will post what they produce and detail the events they are planning for National Manufacturing Day itself.

Manufacturing covers a wide range of sectors including aerospace, engineering, chemical and pharmaceutical, food and drink, defence, automotive and renewable technologies. So, there will definitely be something around on the day to interest everyone.

Stephen Phipson, CEO of Make UK, the manufacturers organisation added:

“This is a really exciting day where the whole manufacturing sector will come together to celebrate the amazing things that Britain designs and makes.

“Britain’s manufacturing companies are at the forefront of global renewable technology development and some of the most innovative engineering developments seen anywhere around the world. This is a sector with amazing opportunities and we hope this third National Manufacturing Day will give people who have never had the chance to see inside their local businesses just what is going on and the opportunities available to them.”
