HMG Paints Opens New Training and Innovation Center
COLLYHURST, Manchester – HMG Paints has opened The Newton Centre and The Riverside Building at its manufacturing site in Collyhurst, Manchester. The new facilities provide the company with a brand new center of excellence, focusing on innovation, manufacturing, development and training.
In November 2011, the company secured a £1.2 million grant awarded by the Regional Growth Fund. Over the last year, this funding has helped finance the preparation of facilities specifically catering to a pilot program focusing on the development and manufacture of water-based coatings. The Newton Centre, named after the company’s long-serving and recently retired Production Manager, John Newton, will be the focus of this recent investment.
