Stainless Steel helps pump company celebrate Silver

A Yorkshire engineering company is celebrating its quarter century with expansion through new products creating new jobs. Leeds based HpE Process Ltd started in 1989 and now has a team of 11 with plans for more to drive through sales of new products.

The pipe and valve company was started by Andrew Allman MD, to help food and beverage manufacturers combat maintenance and waste challenges which were costing them time and money.

He started designing systems which help industrial manufacturers maintain production, cut waste and boost profitability, while meeting health and hygiene standards and achieving sustainability targets. Originally focused on the food and beverage sectors HpE Process Ltd is now one of the largest suppliers to the Scottish distilleries and also operates across diverse sectors.

Having weathered three recessions the company is optimistic about the future with a healthy order book, more staff and new products sympathetic to its core business; but ready to tackle new fields including household, personal care, pharmaceutical and bio chemicals.

“The first 25 years of HpE Process Ltd has been a roller coaster with recession and expansion, but the company is still going strong because we have built our reputation on reliability and service rather than price,” he said.

“We’re now looking forward to further growth aiming for that elusive £5 million turnover target through new products and new people.”
