Power tool and woodworking machinery supplier Stayer Group Ltd has moved to new premises in Kent to improve operational efficiency.

The move from Guildford to Swanscombe in Dartford, which also involves the Kity UK operation, is part of the company’s strategy for improving business in the UK and Ireland.

The leasehold premises has been customised for stock and spare holdings and a computer system installed to increase operational efficiency in co-operation with its factories in Continental Europe.

New products launched under the Kity brand include a combination woodworking machine with multiple functions.
