1st birthday for new factory
It has now been a year since we moved into our new custom built factory at the Port Of Tyne in South Shields in March 2006.
The move was part Solar Solve's expansion plans due to exceptional growth as a result of more ships being built and a greater demand for the ROLASOLV range of specialist roller blinds for windows on all types of vessel.
Our new factory, named 'The Tyne Dock Facility' provides three times more floor space than our old factory and has plenty of room for expansion.
This move has enabled Solar Solve to plan for the future with confidence, knowing that we can handle orders of almost any size in a modern purpose built factory and office complex.
