1000th Longwood Escalator

25 September 2007

Longwood Engineering started manufacturing the first generation Longwood Escalator screen back in 1993, with an installation at Dukinfield in Greater Manchester.

Over the last 14 years the Escalator has established itself as the benchmark for quality, robustness and performance, with continual evolution to remain and perform at the top level.

In June 2007 we reached a landmark milestone, when we received an order for 11 Escalator screens and 10 Combi-Wash screenings handling units. This order now means that we have reached and surpassed the 1000^th Escalator screen made.

This landmark will be part of the Laing O’Rourke “Project Omega” contract, which is a multi-million pound project in Northern Ireland. Project Omega is split over 6 sites, with work to be completed in 2008.

We feel, that reaching this number of Escalators made, goes a long way to prove just how good our screens are and how well they are received in the market place. However we know that we have to carry on pushing our products and development forward. So we look forward to supplying the next 1000.
