Presently , Bonningtons proposes a diverse product portfolio , comprising both imported and manufactured goods . “ Our imports cater to various needs , ranging from homewares , catering , pets and leisure to gardening and watering . Meanwhile , we manufacture all sorts of chemicals for Flow , including screen wash , floor cleaner , bleach , as well as outdoor cleaning products ,” he begins . Sergio specifically mentions Flow ’ s signature Wet and Walk Away formula , as featured in its patio and path cleaner . Formulated to rid garden stones , paths and patios of unwanted stains , this solution boasts a pH neutral formula offering a layer of protection to prevent stains from coming back . “ Besides , we distribute some of our own label products to a few major retailers such as The Range , Wilco Motor Spares , Stax Trade Centres , and many others I am unable to mention ,” continues Sergio .
Delving into Bonningtons ’ manufacturing capabilities , Sergio discusses the technologies and equipment in place to enhance efficiency . “ Bonningtons made a significant investment in a new machine which has tremendously improved our production capacity from 1000 bottles a day to 1000 per hour . Moreover , we complemented that purchase with a new capping machine . At a cost of £ 100,000 , this appliance empowers us to cap 1500 bottles hourly . Additionally , Bonningtons embraced robotics with two machines wrapping pallets automatically , enabling us to save valuable time . To ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the machine , we have hired a fulltime engineer to supervise its maintenance . In the future , we are planning on investing in a second production line to run alongside our current one , as well as in another machine to facilitate the manufacture of our AdBlue chemical range ,” he adds .
