GVS is proud to announce the opening of its new purpose-built facility in Lancaster, a strategic investment that marks a major milestone in the company’s global growth plan. Designed to consolidate production, laboratories, cleanrooms, warehousing, and office functions under one roof, this modern site reflects GVS’s commitment to innovation, sustainability, and operational excellence.
A Strategic Location for Growth
The choice of Lancaster was no coincidence. Its proximity to the M6 motorway and Lancaster city centre ensures excellent accessibility and visibility, making it an ideal hub for efficient logistics and strong transport connections. This location not only enhances operational efficiency but also positions GVS closer to customers and partners, enabling faster delivery and improved service.
By centralising operations in a single, temperature-controlled environment, GVS reduces unnecessary movement, improves team safety, and creates space for advanced automation. These improvements translate into higher product quality, streamlined processes, and a more reliable customer experience - key pillars of GVS’s values.
Innovation Meets Sustainability
The Lancaster facility introduces cutting-edge manufacturing technologies that elevate precision and performance across multiple product lines. From automated injection moulding and ultrasonic welding to advanced filtration production and HEPA/ULPA mini-pleating, the plant is equipped to deliver exceptional quality and efficiency.
Sustainability is at the heart of this development. The site operates entirely on renewable energy and uses heat pumps to capture and reuse waste energy for heating insulated spaces. Extensive tree planting and on-site water management further reduce the environmental footprint, reinforcing GVS’s long-term commitment to responsible manufacturing.
Impact on Customers and Community
For customers, the benefits are clear: consistent lead times, improved product quality, and expanded production capacity to support a broader and more innovative product range. At the same time, the new facility creates high-quality technical and engineering jobs in the local area, strengthens partnerships with local suppliers and institutions, and offers apprenticeships and training programmes to nurture future talent in advanced manufacturing.
Looking Ahead
The Lancaster site is more than a new plant, it is a foundation for future growth. GVS aims to attract and retain highly skilled professionals, particularly engineers and technical specialists, while expanding in-house capabilities for laboratory testing, prototyping, and design. These investments will accelerate product development and ensure GVS remains at the forefront of innovation and sustainability.
