As demand for our automation, vacuum handling and pneumatic solutions continues to increase, we’re excited to share the progress being made at our new premises – Simmatic are expanding for the future. Our new facility will provide the additional space and infrastructure needed to support our customers, expand stockholding capabilities and improve operational efficiency. We’re all excited as we prepare for the important next chapter in our company’s growth.
Expanding for the Future
Custom Mezzanine Installation
One of the key developments within the new unit has been the installation of a bespoke steel mezzanine floor measuring 18.7m x 4.4m x 2.7m high, complete with 38mm decking boards, a staircase and a full handrailing system.
The mezzanine floor will provide valuable additional storage capacity from day one, allowing us to maximise the available footprint without increasing the overall building size. This enhanced storage space will support our growing inventory and ensure we continue delivering fast, reliable service to all our customers across the UK.
Thor Safety
A huge thank you goes to the team at Thor Safety Ltd for their professionalism, quality workmanship and commitment throughout the project. We’d also like to recognise Ben Priest, from Simmatic, for coordinating the project and ensuring everything progressed smoothly.
With the major structural work now complete, we’re looking forward to finishing the remaining improvements and moving into the facility in the near future.
Supporting UK Industry Since 1997
Based in Worcestershire, Simmatic Automation Specialists Ltd has been delivering innovative vacuum and handling solutions since 1997. By combining pneumatic and vacuum technologies, we help businesses streamline productions processes, reduce manual handling and improve overall operational performance, supporting industrial automation across the UK to industries including:

More Than a Supplier – A Solutions Partner
At Simmatic, we believe that every application is unique. That’s why we focus on delivering tailored solutions rather than simply supplying products. Through our popular “Challenge Us” initiative, customers bring their most difficult handling and automation challenges to our engineering team. We then develop, test and trial bespoke solutions to identify the most effective approach before implementation.
This practical, problem-solving approach has earned us industry recognition and established Simmatic as not only an award-winning distributor, but as one of the UK’s leading suppliers of vacuum handling technology.
In addition to our vacuum solutions, we supply a comprehensive range of automation products including:
- Pneumatic fittings and tubing
- Solenoid valves and manifolds
- Vacuum valves and generators
- Air preparation equipment
- Regulators and accessories
- Cylinders and actuators
- Complete automation system components
