V-TUF in Middlesbrough — Industrial Cleaning Equipment Hub

V-TUF in Middlesbrough — industrial cleaning equipment for Teesside

V-TUF supplies M-Class and H-Class dust extractors, industrial pressure washers, hot-water cleaning systems and heavy-duty industrial vacuums to construction contractors, chemical and energy sector operators, steel and manufacturing businesses, facilities management teams, fleet and depot operators, and the mobile valeting trade across Middlesbrough and Teesside. Middlesbrough sits at the heart of one of the UK's most distinctive industrial economies — the Teesside chemical cluster at Wilton including SABIC UK, PX Group, Sembcorp and INEOS is one of Europe's largest petrochemical complexes, British Steel's Lackenby operations process steel on the south bank of the Tees, and Teesworks — the UK's largest Freeport site at the former Redcar steelworks — is emerging as a major offshore wind and energy transition manufacturing hub. South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust operates James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough — a major trauma centre and one of the largest acute hospitals in the North East — with active capital works programmes. The South Tees Development Corporation and Teesworks development are generating the most significant construction activity on Teesside in a generation.

This hub is for procurement teams, site managers, fleet managers, chemical sector maintenance teams and trade buyers in Middlesbrough and across Teesside who want to see the V-TUF range organised by what they actually do, rather than by product category.

V-TUF equipment is in daily use across Teesside's chemical plants, steel operations, construction sites, NHS estate, fleet depots and social housing maintenance programmes throughout the Tees Valley.
