US Specialist Sets Up Base in Stoke-on-Trent
Detroit-based Mohr Corporation has just established an operation - MOHR UK - in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, England. Mohr is an internationally known company specialising in plant appraisal, liquidation and surplus asset management to many areas of the ceramic manufacturing industry and says that this move will see it offering a unique service to customers in the UK.
The UK operation is being headed up by Lee Rawle, who brings 20 years' experience in the industry to his new post. He said: "The Mohr Corporation has had interests in Stoke-on-Trent and England for around 30 years. We are known here and this is the consolidation of existing business. Stoke-on-Trent is the centre of the English and world ceramic industry and is an ideal location for us".
He added that Mohr could well be employing around six people in the North Staffordshire by the end of 2002. In October, the company demonstrated in the UK just one facet of its operations when it carried out the complete factory liquidation of Power Developments, a division of technical ceramics company Spirent. The company says that it has also undertaken every major ceramic manufacturing factory liquidation in the USA over the past 30 years.
Mohr Corporation's President, Art Mohr, said of this new development: "Mohr is the eldest and most experienced second-hand machinery trader and complete plant liquidator for ceramic facilities in North America, with experience throughout the world, including the UK. Mohr has recently established an office in Stoke-on-Trent, which brings its ceramic plant appraisal, liquidation and surplus asset management services to the tableware and technical ceramic industry to the Stoke-on-Trent area, as well as throughout the UK. It is the first time these services have been available".
