Addex’s Newark site expansion includes the installation of a new lab line for developing high-performance cooling technologies, as well as performance and cost-saving upgrades for its electronic control systems.

"The consolidation is an important step forward because it enables us to focus on what we do best, namely cooling technology."

The company intends to open a cooling system at the Newark site, which will feature EGC auto profile controls, digital IBC controls, and LFR and MGC dual-flow air ring technologies.

The Newark facility will have 15 employees, including newly appointed inside sales manager James Botcher.

Addex president Robert Cree said: "The consolidation is an important step forward because it enables us to focus on what we do best, namely cooling technology."
