30 years and 30 doors

Alan Blakemore, senior facilities engineer, has overseen the site for the past 32 years. He says: "The smooth operation of the premises is of paramount importance. We move an enormous amount of palletised goods, with one area alone producing 800,000 bottles of toner every month. We have to ensure the safety of our operatives in these high volume areas."

EFAFLEX has installed a variety of doors throughout the site, including the premium ‘SST’ with its patented spiral design and unrivalled door opening speeds of up to 4m/s.

Due to the vast open plan design, Ricoh needed to maintain temperature control, reduce heat loss and minimise energy costs. These highest of high speed doors enable that to be possible, while simultaneously providing dust control in the more sensitive areas. 

As with the majority of customers, Ricoh have a Preventative Maintenance contract in place with regular service checks undertaken by qualified EFAFLEX technicians.

EFAFLEX will be exhibiting at IMHX 13- 16^th September and PPMA 27 – 29^th September, both at Birmingham’s NEC.
