The new facility boasts advanced manufacturing systems and increased production capacity, ensuring Tong is well placed to produce the highest quality handling equipment and meet worldwide industry demands as the company continues to progress.
A NEW ACQUISITION
With a steadfast dedication to growth, continually seeking opportunities to expand and enhance its market presence, in November 2023 Tong Engineering acquired UK manufacturer Terry Johnson Ltd, best-known for manufacturing the well-known Swift Lift range of elevators and conveyors. Tong Engineering Ltd Group was born to accommodate the acquisition, incorporating Tong Engineering Ltd alongside Terry Johnson Ltd, which now trades as Tong Swift Lift. The acquisition not only broadens Tong Engineering’s portfolio, but also reinforces the company’s position as a leader in the industry. Tong Swift Lift equipment continues to be manufactured in Holbeach, Lincolnshire, where the Terry Johnson Ltd business was established in 1986.
我们的价值观
As well as the development of the company’s vegetable washing, polishing and processing equipment, the company also extended its product range further with the addition of heavy duty recycling equipment suitable for sorting and recycling a wide variety of waste materials.
In 2015, after 27 years at the helm of the company, Charles Tong took the role of company Chairman as he handed over the reigns to his son Edward, who became Managing Director, and the company changed its Tong Peal branding back to Tong Engineering.
In 2020 the company welcomed Teresa Morgan and Neil Martin to its board of directors as Finance and Operations Directors respectively, further strengthening the company’s strategic direction to maintain its strong family values whilst working towards ongoing growth. More recently, Charlie Rich and Simon Lee also joined the board as joint Sales Directors in 2021.
