Seward Moves to Larger Premises

Seward Ltd, manufacturer and developer of the Stomacher® Laboratory Paddle Blender range for over 40 years, has moved to new premises within Worthing, UK. The significant investment provides for a doubling of manufacturing and storage facilities. The new site also houses a purpose built R&D laboratory for product development, application assessment and customer protocol development. Further investment in web conferencing facilities has also enhanced support for Seward’s increasing customer base globally.

Within the first half of 2010, Seward saw nearly a 20% growth in sales of its laboratory blenders, in comparison to the same period in 2009. Notably, sales of its Stomacher 80 biomaster range for small tissue processing, increased by 53% and its large volume blender, the Stomacher 3500, saw a massive 72% growth. Much of this growth has been driven by new applications and the company’s US branch, Seward Inc, established 2 years ago.

Stuart Ray, Technical Director, Seward Ltd, said: “We are seeing strong growth in the US and Asia/Pacific regions, consequently Seward is also expanding and the investment in our new facilities confirms our commitment to shortening lead times and meeting customer needs worldwide.”
