Peterlee’s GT Group completes first stage of £3 million investment project

Peterlee-based environmental engineering specialist, GT Group, has completed the first part of a £3 million investment in technology to support the manufacture of emission systems for the On/Off Highway industry.

The Group’s GT Emission Systems division has purchased a £250k CNC Doosan Puma lathe to increase efficiencies and its production capabilities for the production of exhaust gas control systems.

The technology is part of an investment programme by GT Emission Systems to increase production capacity at its manufacturing facility in Peterlee by almost 200% over the next three years.

Geoff Turnbull, Chairman of GT Group, said: “This investment will enable our emission systems division to increase capacity and meet the demand for our products.

“Through our continuing and comprehensive research and development programmes, we have created a portfolio of systems, which are actively helping engine manufacturer’s address increasingly challenging environmental standards.

“Continually updating production technology at our facility not only supports our commitment to ensuring our systems meet international regulations and support our customers’ emission targets, but also supports our ability to convert our sophisticated ideas into workable and effective solutions.”
