Nottinghamshire-based Merritts, which specialises in moving and storing heavy machinery, recently relocated four Engel injection moulding machines for Polypipe Civils (a leading manufacturer of plastic piping systems).

The six-week project involved machinery decommissioning and export packing in Dubai, followed by delivery, installation and recommissioning in the UK.

Managing director Richard Merritt said (www.merritts.uk.com): “Projects like this exemplify the expertise we have in transporting heavy machinery, regardless of the location or complexity. Due to the varied requirements of the project,

“I am very proud of the high-quality service delivered to the client by our project managers, health-and-safety team and on-site operatives.”

Established in 1922, Merritts now has a turnover of £6 million and employs a team of 45 people, who work from a fully equipped storage and bonded warehousing facility in Nottingham.

It has a ‘blue chip’ client base of leading manufacturers and supply chain partners in industries that use heavy machinery, including aerospace, defence, automotive, print, plastics and rubber, food production and waste recycling.
