Large UK expansion for Tana Water

Mains-fed water cooler manufacturer Tana Water (UK) has announced its relocation to larger premises, and has gained a £1.26m investment in recognition of the company’s growth potential in the UK market.

In a vote of confidence from parent company Tana Industries, Tana Water has gained additional funding to support its growth strategy, which includes relocating to larger headquarters at the new Henley Business Park near Guildford, increasing its sales and marketing staff and launching an expanded product range into the business and domestic markets.

For more than a decade, Tana Water has supplied mains-fed water machines to UK government, healthcare, manufacturing, leisure, hospitality and educational organisations.

In June 2008, the company was named as an approved supplier of mains-fed water coolers to the NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency (PASA). This year, the company has delivered on ambitious growth plans, including opening a new telesales office on the Isle of Wight to support sales and service nationwide.

Commenting on the funding, Danny Taragon, CEO of Tana Industries, said: “We've been impressed with the progress made by Tana Water UK. Since we set up our UK manufacturing operation in 2004, the company has gone from strength to strength and we're happy to support its continued growth.”

Nick Heane, MD of Tana Water UK, added: “I'm delighted that our UK growth plans have gained the financial backing of Tana Industries. At a time when most UK companies are battling the credit crunch, this is a major endorsement of the Tana Water UK staff who have worked so hard to look after existing customers as well as winning new business.”
