About The Company:

Stovax and Gazco are industry leaders in log burners, gas, and electric fires, serving the UK and Europe for over 40 years and operating in over 25 countries.

They specialise in the manufacture of high-quality wood-burning, multi-fuel, gas, and electric stoves, fires, and fireplaces.

What Business Interior Challenges Did Stovax And Gazco Face?

Due to their exceptional growth, Stovax and Gazco were operating out of seven separate buildings within an industrial estate in Exeter. The scattered setup posed significant operational issues leading to:

To streamline their operations and improve efficiency they needed to bring their activities under one roof. For this, they turned to Western Industrial and M&E Contrax for expert assistance.
