Lawton Tubes, a supplier and manufacturer of 100 per cent recyclable copper tube and fittings, is set to more than double its capacity, after work on its new state-of-the-art headquarters in Coventry officially got underway.
The company is gearing up to open a new £20 million facility next year to meet growing domestic demand for its plumbing and heating and air conditioning products.
The company says the new facility will equal the size of approximately 40 tennis courts – double the size of its existing headquarters that will also remain operational.
It will include a 107,768 sq ft warehouse along with 17,220 sq ft of office space and welfare areas and a 40-metre service yard.
The milestone comes 107 years after the business was initially co-founded in Coventry by Albert Lawton, whose family still operate the business to this day.
