In September, the company, which produces high quality products to serve the water industry, will celebrate 40 years in business. Originally based in Wolverhampton, Precolor has grown substantially as a result of creating long lasting relationships in the industry and providing its customers with reliable solutions they can depend on. Part of a privately owned group, Precolor has specialist knowledge in the water and chemical storage field and has been a family owned business for three generations. With a dedication to hard work and a strong commitment to its clients, the business has established a strong reputation within the industry. The company has been doing very well in recent times so Sharon Barker, General Manager, reflected on where it all began: “The Company was originally a partnership called Precolor Products that made swimming pools and mannequins. In 1975 the decision was made to form a limited company. As the company expanded bigger premises were needed which resulted in a move to Rose Hill, near Market Drayton. Then in 1979 a final move to our present site in Newport Road, Market Drayton. We are extremely proud of achieving this huge milestone, 40 years is a huge achievement for any Company.” By manufacturing a large range of tanks that vary in size, the company has been able to excel in the current market as the variation of products it offers is quite substantial. Making tanks that are able to hold up to 760,000 litres, the company has products that appeal to a wide range of clients. Sharon stated: “We can manufacture GRP tanks as one piece, semi sectional and fully sectional.” MANUFACTURING AND ENGINEERING MAGAZINE 33
