Manchester-based paint manufacturer HMG Paints has officially opened its new department. known as the “Len Hutton Centre”, a facility dedicated to water-based paint production.
The development will increase water-based production capabilities at HMG, with the department being named after former HMG production director, Len Hutton.
This substantial capital investment, which coincides with the business celebrating its 95th anniversary, is projected to increase capacity by an estimated 50,000 litres per month.
HMG chairman, John Falder, commented: “It’s great to have a department named after one of the true greats of HMG, Len and I started as kids together and across our 45 years of working together, Len became the foundation of our colour laboratory, tints and all the systems that followed. As a business, we were one of four hundred industrial paint manufacturers around at the time Len joined the business, and its thanks to him as well as many others that we are where we are today.”
