John Hogg Expands into new R&D Laboratory

Share

Manchester, July 2024 – John Hogg Technical Solutions, a leader in fuel marking technology and solvent dye manufacturing, is proud to announce the opening of a new Research & Development lab at the state-of-the-art Hexagon Tower.

This exciting move marks a significant milestone in our company’s growth and highlights our commitment to innovation and technical excellence. It is particularly meaningful as it represents our first expansion since we moved to Mellors Road in the early 1980’s.

The new site at Hexagon Tower features a cutting-edge laboratory and modern office space, which will be the home of research and development for our speciality dye team. This new workspace will be used to create new products for the lubricant, aerobatic smoke, and NDT markets, enabling our team to undertake more complex projects and deliver exceptional results to our customers.

In addition to the new laboratory, Hexagon Tower provides John Hogg with office areas to support our growing team.

 

 

John Hogg has had a presence in Speciality Dyes for many years, so having dedicated resources will expand our product range and level of service that we are able to offer to our customers. We are excited to see our team grow in capacity, capability, and look forward to working in Hexagon Tower on new challenges and opportunities.”

Guy Powell, Technical Manager

 

As our team settles into their new home at Hexagon Tower, we continue to enhance our ability to support and supply governments, as well as the petroleum, lubricant, and speciality chemical industries. Our technical solutions continue to define and distinguish brands, safeguard product quality, reduce fuel fraud, drive compliance, and boost tax revenues in over 70 countries.
