Mansfield Pollard, a leader in air management and acoustic control solutions, is redefining its acoustic control division through a significant investment into its people, facilities, product and service offerings.
Recent investments into the business include new ten-tonne and five-tonne cranes, an advanced industrial spray booth, and enhanced welding capabilities. These upgrades collectively enable the production of large-scale, technically demanding enclosures with increased complexity and precision.
The company’s 321,000 sq ft Bradford facility now boasts end-to-end in house manufacturing capabilities, streamlining processes to reduce lead times and improve efficiency.
Mansfield Pollard has also expanded its acoustic control team with recent hires, enhancing the division’s ability to deliver bespoke, high-performance solutions.
Lou Ellis-Frankland, CEO at Mansfield Pollard, said: “Our investment in people, facilities, and processes has been pivotal in strengthening our market position. We’ve built a talented team that can deliver complex, high-quality solutions with greater efficiency, plus our investment in facilities continues to transform our production capacity and capability, as we deliver on our ambitious program of growth. With all manufacturing under one roof, we’re in a unique position to combine expertise from across the entire business to deliver innovative results for our clients.”
As part of the investments, the company has launched a market-first product – the ALX Aluminium Enclosure. Featuring superior acoustic performance and an industry-leading strength-to-weight ratio, this innovation addresses the rising demand for efficient, cost-effective systems and repositions the company as a key player in enclosures for power generation, data centre, and industrial applications sectors.
The ALX enclosure aims to redefine the market through a combination of lightweight construction, durability and high acoustic performance. Built with an anti-corrosive 60mm aluminium alloy framework, it boasts a minimum tensile strength of 100Mpa.
Rob Hosker, Head of Acoustics at Mansfield Pollard, said: “The ALX sets a new standard for modular enclosures and containers and represents a major step forward in acoustic engineering. It’s been designed to meet the demands of key industries, including diesel and gas generator enclosures, and UPS systems. The launch reflects our commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance enclosures that are built around our clients’ needs at a competitive price. We’re excited to introduce the ALX to our portfolio and anticipate it making a significant impact across our core sectors.”
