<\/p>\nWho would have thought, that the ground breaking design and manufacture of expansion and movement control joints, enabling the world\u2019s buildings to stand the force of earthquakes, all begins in Cornwall and Devon?<\/p>\n
European Springs & Pressings in Penryn, Cornwall, manufactures springs for South Brent based Vexcolt, one of the world\u2019s leading producers of expansion joints and movement control joints.<\/p>\n
Covering every continent across the globe, including buildings as iconic as Jeddah airport in Saudi Arabia to The Shard, to Jewel Changi airport in Singapore to the O2 arena, Vexcolt design and manufacture joint systems that enable buildings to absorb up to one metre of movement, when an earthquake strikes.<\/p>\n

Arun Kingwell, Technical Specialist at Vexcolt says: \u201cThe UK is often misrepresented for its manufacturing capabilities, let alone Devon and Cornwall. However, here we are with two SME\u2019s, working together, making a product that significantly contributes to the safety of infrastructures around the world.<\/p>\n
We have technical sales offices in the UK, Europe, India, China and South-East Asia but we manufacture in the South West. It\u2019s great to work with European Springs & Pressings as it enables us to not only deliver a high-end quality manufacture message but also a Made in Britain status that we\u2019re very proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n
Michael Gibbs, Managing Director of European Springs & Pressings concludes: \u201cIt always surprises people how much a spring is depended on for multiple functionalities across so many diverse industries.<\/p>\n
