Investment in machinery
Since joining the Applebridge Family in 2020, Geocast has moved 50 miles south from Ashington to Hartlepool and expanded its premises from 6,000ft to 25,000ft to bring lots of new jobs and opportunities to the local area.

Alongside this, we have invested heavily in the latest technology and software and provided training opportunities for our workforce.
GEOCAST FACTORY TRANSFORMATION
2020 was the year of change for GeoCast. Witness the amazing transformation our manufacturing factory has undergone in just one year.
GEOCAST FACTORY INVESTMENT
GeoCast have invested heavily in the latest software and equipment to maximise the welfare of their employees, whilst continuing to improve the consistency and quality of the final product for distribution.
In September 2021, we welcomed a brand-new batch weighing system to the GeoCast factory. With the aggregate hopper and conveyer we can electronically set the required weight for each aggregate, cement or pigment type and improve the overall consistency and quality of the mix. To help reduce manual labour, we also invested in an oiling machine which evenly releases oil onto the mould to create a smooth, consistent finish.
