Launch of UK’s largest provider of industrial heat exchanger solutions

THE UK’s largest provider of design, manufacture and support services for heat exchanger and boiler equipment for manufacturers has been created through a new partnership between Green’s and Thornhill.

Green’s managing director Matthew Crewe says: “Our international business has grown significantly over the past two years and now accounts for two thirds of our turnover. We see the opportunity to bring Thornhill’s tried and tested heat exchanger technology and services to our customers in the UK and overseas as a great addition to our existing product range.”
