Bryan Lynch, CEO of FloPlast says of their presence in Swale:

“On the recommendation of Swale Borough Council we took the decision to base our UK Headquarters / manufacturing & distribution facility on Eurolink in 2000, relocating from other premises in the area. We committed to acquiring a 12 acre site for the construction of a bespoke facility which has provided us with the opportunity to expand our UK operation over the years, in keeping with the growth of the business.

The flexibility afforded to us by the ongoing nature of the ‘Eurolink product’ enabled us to secure a further 7½ acre site on the directly adjoining Phase 4 of Eurolink and this now has planning consent for a further 70,000 sq.ft. of distribution space to service the company’s future needs.”
