Following the acquisition of Adanac by AIV Europe in 2015, the two companies will soon be consolidated into a new purpose-built facility.

“The new facility, located in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, will offer significantly increased shop floor space for ADANAC and storage space for AIV Europe,” says Frank Jimenez, Managing Director. “The property will allow for future expansion of both businesses. Construction will start later this year, with a scheduled opening in early 2025.”
