A focus on the future
Our state-of-the-art Pre-Assembled Systems Area (PSA) is located at our Global Technical Centre.
Briggs of Burton’s (BRIGGS) latest development in building process systems is marked by a new state-of-the-art clean assembly manufacturing facility at its Burton-on-Trent headquarters. This continued investment forms part of a broader multi‑year programme including the Global Technical Centre and more recently a new Logistics Hub.
The PSA was established to allow the company to build its customers’ next factory in its new dedicated space, providing one location for clients to visit, see modules being built, and complete Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT). This off-site construction approach helps minimise installation time on site. The PSA itself introduces an expansive 890 m² hygienic clean-production area, featuring six assembly bays and crucial equipment storage. This facility will serve as the central hub for constructing hygienic modular skid units vital for the food, beverage, and life sciences industries across the UK, Europe, and North America. Furthermore, upgraded welfare facilities and a larger outdoor space will enhance the production team’s well‑being, reflecting the company’s values and ongoing commitment to sustainability.
BRIGGS is continuing to focus and diversify into Life Sciences with its modular mixing systems, building on its reputation in the pharmaceutical industry and its track-record as one of the first to develop pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI) mixing systems for manufacturing drugs that treat respiratory conditions such as asthma and COPD. BRIGGS has been at the forefront of delivering systems that support a greener future through shifts in propellants used in pMDI drug delivery. A key part of the Life Sciences focus is also the relaunch of the GIUSTI brand, long recognised for its high-quality finish, reliable mixing vessels, and systems that are built to last.
