Leicester retains a strong manufacturing base, with production activity ranging from established textile and engineering businesses to food, packaging and logistics operations across the wider area. Manufacturers working in existing premises may have limited space available when adding new processing or conveying equipment. A bespoke spiral elevator uses vertical space to move products between stages while keeping its floor footprint compact. Depending on the application, the same system can also provide cooling, drying, conditioning or accumulation time, helping integrate product movement with the wider manufacturing process.
