As the company pursues its ongoing expansion plans, Tong is pleased to have completed the build of a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in its hometown of Spilsby.

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.
