The UK subsidiary company of the TROX Group was established in 1962 and a brand-new production facility was built in Thetford in 1971 to meet increasing demand. Since then, the Thetford factory has developed chilled beams, fan coils, grilles and diffusers, and air handling units for the group. Neil Addison, Managing Director (Sales & Operations) said: “Our 60th Anniversary is a fantastic achievement for everyone who has been involved in our history. It is a time to remember with pride everything the company has achieved, and it is an opportunity to look to the future.” The Group was first established in Germany in 1951 by Heinrich Trox. By the early 60’s, Heinrich’s sons, Heinz and Klaus, had joined the company and embarked on a programme of expansion, with the UK becoming the first subsidiary company. www.troxuk.co.uk
