Fracino savours new client success and 10 per cent team growth

Multi-award winning Fracino has scooped a raft of new customers including the NEC Arena and, the National Indoor Arena and marked a 10 per cent increase in its now 50-strong team.

Achieving double digit growth since 2009, the UK’s only manufacturer of espresso and cappuccino machines - which posted an unprecedented £4.1m turnover this year - is continuing to expand its UK client portfolio and its exporting arm.

A 14 per cent rise in sales across the last 12 months has sparked five new appointments comprising service manager Dan Weston, James Cassidy, welder and sheet metal fabricator, Nigel Chantler, stock and purchasing controller, Daniel O’Donnell, trainee CAD development engineer and Ian Sharpe, general sheet metal fabrication.

Birmingham Art Gallery, Birmingham University and the National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull are also among the new customers commissioning Fracino’s machines.

Fracino MD Adrian Maxwell, said: “It’s tremendous that our machines are being sought after by major venues across the region. These new appointments are vital to our growth and investment strategy as we continue to innovate and make new inroads at home and in international trade. Our team members are settling in well and we wish them every success in their new roles.”

Founded in a garden shed by chairman Frank Maxwell in 1963, the third generation family business manufacturers 4,000 machines annually and exports to over 70 countries worldwide. Clients span Costa Coffee, Patisserie Valerie, Druckers coffee shops, Pathfinder and Marston’s Beer Company.
