Celebrating 40 Years of Wessington Cryogenics

We are thrilled to celebrate 40 years of Wessington Cryogenics!! 40 years ago, on Friday 10th February 1984, Wessington Cryogenics was established by founders Eddie Rowe and Brian Bennett Cowell, opening their first 2,500 sq ft factory shortly after.

40 years, 130 team members and 70,000 sq ft of factory space later, Wessington is an now established world-leader in cryogenic vessel manufacturing!

It was a pleasure to invite our founder Eddie Rowe to Wessington yesterday to celebrate the 40th Anniversary alongside our owner, Colin Robertson, and the rest of our team.

Eddie took a trip down memory lane in the factory that he retired in a decade ago, seeing both old and new products and designs.

After a lot of reminiscing, Eddie had the honour of cutting the 40th anniversary cake and enjoying a wonderful buffet before catching up with some of his old colleagues.
