Becker Acroma has established a technical centre at Heywood, Lancashire, to provide its northern-based customers with easy access to training in the use of its wood finishing products.

The centre, which includes a spray booth and other training equipment, forms part of Syntema North West, Beckers’ existing regional distribution centre and will help to expand the company’s customer training programme.

Ragnar Quarnstrom, Becker’s managing director, said: “We believe that technical training in the use of our products, particularly in the current economic climate, is fundamental to efficient use and reducing customers’ costs.”

The centre complements the company’s main technical centre at Haverhill.
