Food & beverage manufacturing
Hygienic stainless drives, washdown motors and food-grade lubricants for UK food and drink producers.
We supply MRO components, PPE and engineering services to food and drink manufacturers across the UK — from bakeries and dairies in Lancashire to soft-drink and ready-meal lines nationwide.
Every part we recommend is selected with hygiene, washdown frequency and BRCGS audit trails in mind, so your engineering team can keep production lines clean, compliant and running.

Breakdown support
— Brands stocked for food & beverage
Independent — so we specify what works, not what we're tied to.
Plus 200+ specialist brands sourced through our distributor network. Tell us the OEM spec — we'll quote a like-for-like or a documented alternative.
— FAQs
Questions we get asked.
Do you supply detectable PPE for BRCGS audits?
Yes — our food-sector PPE range includes metal and X-ray detectable gloves, hairnets, beard snoods and pens, all traceable by batch with supporting declarations available on request.
Can you replace non-stainless motors on a washdown line?
Absolutely. We carry out drive surveys, recommend IP69K stainless gearmotors with food-grade gear oils, and can install through our engineering team or alongside your existing contractor.
How quickly can you respond to a production-line breakdown?
Approved accounts get next-working-day delivery as standard across the UK, with same-day collection from our Blackburn warehouse and out-of-hours engineering callouts by arrangement.
Can you set up a vendor-managed inventory for our site?
Yes. We audit your stores, agree min/max levels with engineering, install labelled bins and run scheduled replenishment so consumables and critical spares are always to hand.
