Wildacre make up higher quality cosmetics with Thorite Compressor Rental
14 October 2015
Based in Bingley, Wildacre Cosmetics designs, develops and manufactures a specialist range of cosmetic and toiletry products. The company's manufacturing machinery is mainly pneumatically powered, but production problems used to be common due to the unreliability of two compressors.

Steve Richardson, Wildacre's MD, contacted Thorite, who suggested the installation of a complete Air Rental Package. This comprised an energy-efficient HPC SM12T compressor complete with an air receiver, oil/water separator unit and all necessary filters. This package not only provides reliable machinery power, but has also proved less expensive to rent than the previous compressor equipment.
The Air Rental scheme is tax efficient, rental charges are fixed for up to 60 months, there are no upfront costs, the latest compressor technology is supplied and the equipment is fully maintained during the rental period.
Richardson says: "We now power four filling lines and a labeller from the Thorite-supplied compressor. The best compliment I can use to describe the quality of the compressor and its associated equipment is that we simply forget it's there – it is all so totally reliable – and because everything is covered by the Thorite Service Contract we get on-going peace of mind."
