The Straume UK wool processing plant at Low Mill, Addingham, has placed a £500,000 order for the latest in wool drying equipment.
The order is for an Andar dryer which is made in New Zealand. Managing director Steven Porter said: "It will be the largest and most technically-advanced dryer in the UK. We need to continue investing in the latest technology to achieve even better efficiency.
"This particular piece of equipment will, I'm sure, become the industry standard but in the meantime we will be the first commission wool scourer in the UK to install it. This wool dryer is in a different league," he added.
