Marshall-Tufflex’s market-leading Voltis Home power saving system has won the East Sussex manufacturer inclusion in the influential ‘Made by Britain’ project showcasing all that’s best about British manufacturing.
The newly launched system, which can reduce domestic electricity bills by up to 17% and help substantially prolong the life of domestic appliances, has proved hugely successful, outstripping annual sales targets within months of being launched last year.
Hastings and Rye MP Amber Rudd considered Voltis Home to be a great example of British manufacturing talent, selecting Marshall-Tufflex as the sole representative for her constituency in the Made By Britain project, as she explained: “Voltage in the UK is supplied at around 240Volts, far exceeding the requirements for products to function properly, thus wasting money and causing appliances to wear more quickly. Voltis Home reduces voltage to around 218Volts, helping to save money on energy bills and reducing carbon emissions. This is energy saving and money saving – a winning combination for families and the environment.”
Marshall-Tufflex, an engineering and manufacturing company with more than 40 years of experience, is equally delighted with the success of Voltis Home and the nomination, as Jeremy Dodge, Head of Marketing and Technical Services explained: “We are very pleased to have been nominated by Amber Rudd MP as a leading example of manufacturing in the region. We’ve been producing voltage optimiser units for the commercial market at our Hastings factory for some years, developing and miniaturising this technology to produce Voltis Home, which helps households save money and cut carbon emissions.”
The Made by Britain scheme is a collaboration between the Associate Parliamentary Manufacturing Group and the 1851 Royal Commission, an organisation with a long career in supporting British industry. All 650 Members of Parliament have been asked to nominate a manufacturing business to represent their constituencies.
A spokesman for the project said: “The UK faces challenges in terms of stiff competition from abroad and a manufacturing sector that is striving to grow. Showcasing what we do well is an important part of supporting manufacturing, and we hope this project will do that, as well as engaging the country’s top policymakers on the issues that manufacturers face.”
