Industrial Washing Machines (IWM), based in Birmingham, has announced unprecedented growth for the last financial year following a series of new contract wins. The company’s exports have grown by 20% year-on-year and the sales within the UK have also seen an increase of 15%. New product lines as well as bespoke projects have contributed to the company’s success, and IWM has been able to penetrate new markets as far afield as New Zealand, Singapore, Kuwait, Israel and Mexico.
IWM’s products include washing machines for speciality containers, racks, dolavs, weigh pans. The company’s environmentally friendly high-performance machines are widely used in industry sectors such as food processing and production, pharmaceutical manufacturing and engineering component manufacturing. Recently IWM has seen particularly healthy growth in the logistics and distribution sectors with an innovative range of high-throughput washing and drying systems for supermarket distribution crates.
“IWM has always been a family business competing on a global scale,” said Carl Hollier, Managing Director at IWM, “which means that we can be exceptionally responsive and flexible. This year’s growth builds on our earlier success which was recognised by the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in 2014.”
We have been making big investments in new products that eliminate headaches and bottlenecks for our customers,” he continued. “Our aim is for all our customers, at home and overseas, to benefit from bespoke washing and sanitising equipment that helps them to remain competitive and improve their efficiency. And we have many innovations in the pipeline that will ensure continuing strong growth in the future.”
