HepcoMotion invests £15m to expand, including three new buildings
23 June 2025 
HepcoMotion, the UK manufacturer of linear motion systems and automation components, is investing around £15m on new infrastructure, increased manufacturing capacity, and upgrades to its Tiverton, Devon, headquarters, including the construction of three new manufacturing and logistics buildings. Two of the planned additions, due to start operating by the end of this year, will increase the company’s footprint by 25–30%, while the third – currently in the planning phase – will add further capacity for future growth.
Hepco says that the investment will address a growing demand for its products by expanding its manufacturing capacity, enhancing its operational efficiency, and advancing the development of its core products. It adds that the plans reflect its long-term commitment to growth, innovation and continued investment in the area.
One of the new buildings will expand the company’s manufacturing and assembly facilities, including its capacity to produce GFX guidance system for use in Beckhoff’s XTS linear transport system. This building will also include extra office space, and will incorporate sustainability measures such as solar panels and EV (electric vehicle) charging points.
The second building will act as a centralised logistics and storage hub to streamline HepcoMotion’s material-handling and supply chain operations. Part of the building will also accommodate the company’s expanding R&D and marketing departments, including dedicated facilities for filming and Webinars.
The third new building, still in the planning phase, will form part of Hepco’s long-term strategy to accommodate future growth.
The expansion will create additional jobs, including skilled engineering positions and support roles. Efficiency gains, such as the centralised logistics hub, will mean that more people will focus on operating advanced machinery, rather than performing manual handling tasks.
“This expansion strengthens our operational capability and reinforces Hepco’s role as a global leader in linear motion technology,” says managing director, Peter Fanshawe. “We’re investing in infrastructure that supports innovation and positions us to meet the evolving needs of customers worldwide.”
