Hy-Tech wins export order to enamel French wood burning stoves

Hy-Tech Enamellers has won an order to enamel high end cast iron wood burning stoves for a prestigious company in France.

The order was completed in record time after tight deadlines had to be met to secure the work.

Hy-Tech's managing director Brian Lodge said: “While quality was paramount, we had almost 1,000 new parts to complete in four colours; one of which was unique to this client.

“We had to fit this job into our work schedule during a very busy time of year but fortunately our capacity is such that we have multiple production lines. This allows us to flex sufficiently to accommodate orders of this magnitude and complete them in exceptionally short time periods.”

Hy-Tech, based in Highbridge, Somerset, is pushing to expand their market in to Europe to continue its tradition of exporting traditional British quality abroad. Hy-Tech Enamellers is the trading name of Hy-Tech Enamelling Ltd.

New MD for Hy-Tech

Hy-Tech Enamellers has a new managing director to improve its influence in its very niche market.

Brian Lodge has taken charge of the Somerset-based company which manufactures the electric range cooker conversion, the Eco-Cuisinère, and specialises in the production of vitreous enamel.

Mr Lodge will oversee the plant at Highbridge where range cookers , wood burning stoves and cast irons baths are coated in long-lasting vitreous enamel to restore them to their former glory and where industrial and signage enamelling is also facilitated.

Mr Lodge said: “The creation and application of vitreous enamelling is a traditional process but its use is breaking new ground all the time. This is a niche market but is one we confidently serve with the largest vitreous enamelling plant in the UK. I am excited by the challenge this role presents in alerting people to our existence and using our expertise to fulfil our customers’ varying needs.”

Mr Lodge has committed to lift the bar in quality by involving all the staff in a scheme that promotes complete customer satisfaction.
He added: “This new focus on quality has already enabled us to achieve standards that others just cannot match. Our capacity and efficient production techniques mean we can deliver exceptional quality at a competitive price”

Hy-Tech Enamellers specialises in coloured vitreous enamel that is used on both new and restored range cookers and wood burning stoves. The heat-resistant, hard-wearing properties of vitreous enamel makes it perfect not only for range cookers, but also industrial flues, pipes and panels, as well as signage; mostly notably in fire hazardous setting such as underground railway stations.

Mr Lodge will be ably assisted by technical sales manager Chow Bhupendra, who has a wealth of experience in this area, and vitreous enamel expert John White, Hy-Tech’s production director. As a founding director of the company, John has more than 40 years experience in vitreous enamelling. His unequalled knowledge and expertise in this field has ensured that Hy-Tech retains its status as the leading vitreous enameller in the UK.

Hy-Tech Enamellers is the trading name of Hy-Tech Enamelling Ltd.
