Yorkshire-based acrylic bath manufacturer Trojan has invested £750,000 in the expansion of its gel coat shower tray division, Traymate.

Trojan Baths invests £750,000 into relocation and production

Following the acquisition of Essex-based Traymate for £2.85million, and relocation to Huddersfield in 2023, the business was absorbed into Trojan in January 2024.

The new site in Longwood, Huddersfield, close to Trojan’s existing manufacturing facility, consists of a 46,000 sqft building on a three-acre site.

The move  saw an investment programme of £750k, that began in January, with the creation of 26 jobs.

It included investments in master and production moulds, two enclosed gel coat spray booths and an additional casting and packing machine, all aimed at further improving quality and output.

To facilitate the transition, Trojan has made several key appointments including David Dickinson as operations manager, who has 20 years of experience in engineering and operations predominantly from the automotive industry.

Managing director of Trojan David Mosley commented: “The move to the new site has not been without its challenges but the investment into new equipment and staff mark an exciting new chapter for Traymate as we set out to significantly improve our capacity on shower tray production as well as further improve our quality standards.

“As we look to celebrate our 50th year in 2025, our commitment to reinvestment, innovation and growth remains unwavering as does our passion for delivering the best of British to customers worldwide.”
