✦ Synopsis

Hallite Seals and CDI, previously Hallite Polytek, are now operating from a new purposebuilt factory in Hampton, Middlesex, UK on a section of the site that the companies have occupied for approximately 80 years.

Fenner Advanced Sealing Technology (FAST), the parent group of Hallite and CDI, decided to redevelop the existing site, just to the south west of London, rather than move to a lower-cost region, to ensure retention of the skilled and experienced staff. The new factory replaces numerous individual site buildings that were part of the site dating back to approximately 1920.

The facility provides the main manufacturing base for the range of reciprocating seal products provided by Hallite Seals, and a facility for the specialized elastomer mouldings and products
