Operational updates in store for Luxfer
Luxfer Gas Cylinders is to implement a restructuring of its cylinder manufacturing operations in the US and UK in 2008, including changes to operations at its Riverside facilities in California and its Nottingham plant in England.
At Riverside, the company currently operates an aluminium cylinder plant and service centre in the same large facility, as well as 2 composite cylinder operations in separate facilities. The company also manufactures aluminium liners for composite cylinders at its Hydrospin unit at Huntington Beach, California.
As part of the newly announced phased restructuring, Luxfer will move all aluminium cylinder manufacturing from Riverside to its plants in North Carolina and England, then consolidating its 2 composite cylinder plants into 1 combined facility in Riverside. Large-diameter composite liner manufacturing operations are also to be moved, from Huntington Beach into the single Riverside facility – with small-diameter aluminium liner operations remaining in Huntington Beach and service centre operations ceasing.
