Moontown Seals Opens its Doors for the BVAA

Moontown were delighted to welcome the BVAA’s CEO Rob Bartlett and new Business Development Manager, James Allen, in October to formally open their new factory in Hucknall as part of their 30th anniversary year celebrations!

As a UK seal manufacturer, Moontown very proudly supply many of worlds valve companies with critical sealing solutions. In their 30-year history they have been acknowledged as a seal manufacturer who recognise the demanding sealing requirements the valve industry need – quality, reliability, value & service.

The 10,000 Sq Ft building is the next chapter in the continued growth of the company, formed in 1996 and widely recognized as one of the world’s leading PTFE seal manufacturers. This facility enables Moontown to further expand and improve on their seal manufacturing processes, design and prototype work, toolmaking and raw material manufacture.

Moontown have made considerable efforts towards contributing to Net Zero and the building has the most energy efficient ceiling, wall and floor insulation available, coupled with LED lighting and translucent roof lights to 20% of roof area with air source heat pumps coupled to the PV array.

The building also features advanced metering and monitoring systems, energy storage and numerous EV charging points.

Managing Director, Lisa Proctor says “We are all very excited with this next phase of Moontown’s continued growth. It demonstrates our continuing commitment to sealing manufacturing and technology and allows us to continue our investment in not only equipment and people but also allowing us to do so in a much cleaner, environmentally friendly manner.”

Whilst the factory has been operational since 2024 this was a perfect opportunity to open the doors and demonstrate to the BVAA our dedication to sealing technology and the valve industry.  Moontown have recently invested in new machinery and inspection equipment to increase capacity and further supplement the quality of the, quite often, safety critical seals they supply to the valve industry.

Rob and James enjoyed a tour of the factory where they were shown some of the innovations and technology that support the manufacture of their seals ensuring maximum performance and compliance with the highest demands of many of the world’s leading valve producers before the BVAA CEO cut the ribbon marking the factory officially open!
