We can all be really proud that number of local firms, who form part of Test Valley Borough Council’s Manufactured in Andover group, are developing crucial apparatus to help the effort against coronavirus.
MRT Castings, based on Walworth Business Park, is producing multiple components needed for ventilators, and is working alongside other Andover businesses, including Perfect Bore Manufacturing Ltd, Air Vent Technology, Multax and others, to increase their capacity.
I spoke to one of the Senior Managers of Air Vent Technology last week, who was requesting the council’s help to facilitate deliveries from their suppliers. They are currently working with the NHS to help produce air handling units for critical isolation wards. The units are designed, fabricated and manufactured in Andover.
Well done to ALL these businesses who are pulling together and helping to produce essential equipment during these times. 👏🌈
