RDM Test Equipment expands UK manufacturing facility in Essex

The new Saffron Walden site will increase production and storage capacity for packaging and medical testing equipment as the business responds to growing global demand

Packaging performance specialist RDM Test Equipment is expanding its UK manufacturing operations with a move to a new factory and office in Saffron Walden, Essex, scheduled for the start of next month.

The new facility will serve as the primary production hub for the company's RDM Test Equipment and RDM MEDeSEAL brands, manufacturing testing and sealing equipment for the packaging, medical and pharmaceutical industries.

The upgraded site will provide increased storage and production space compared with the company's existing premises, supporting its plans to scale manufacturing capacity in response to business growth.


RDM Test Equipment supplies material testing equipment and packaging performance testing solutions for materials including film, paper, carton and corrugated board.

Its technologies help manufacturers assess packaging performance, verify seal integrity and support regulatory compliance.

Its sister brand, RDM MEDeSEAL, specialises in testing equipment for medical and pharmaceutical packaging applications.


Phil Neal, Managing Director at RDM Test Equipment, said the relocation had resulted from sustained sales and revenue growth across both brands in recent years.

“This expansion marks an exciting era for the business. With the consistent growth we are seeing across the global flexible packaging and medtech packaging sectors, it is no surprise that demand for testing and sealing equipment is growing with it."

This move will enable us to continue serving our customers with the very best in packaging testing and sealing solutions.
