Rotork, the Bath-based global engineering firm, has been granted planning permission to expand its headquarters.
Rotork is based on Brassmill Lane in Bath
The firm, based at Brassmill Lane at Newbridge, is a market-leading provider of industrial flow control equipment.
The planning application submitted to Bath & North East Somerset Council sought permission for a 1,382sq m temporary warehouse extension to Rotork House for a period of up to five years, along with reconfiguring the car park, relocating the goods service yard and adding a new cycle shelter.
In its application, the company said the warehouse extension was needed to improve material handling and production flow.
Since the pandemic, the company said it has struggled with poor material delivery internationally and this is an opportunity to improve parts flow by increasing storage space to hold more stock, which in turn will help job security for the 450 staff based in Bath, and other employees elsewhere.
