History
Plater Group's Glossop site has had a long and varied history.
The buildings were originally constructed in 1902, by the Urban Electricity Supply Company, to provide power for the new Glossop Tramways. The first tram ran in August 1903 and the last on 24th December 1927.

The plot has been developed over the last 90 years, however some of the original rails can be seen around the site. The engine sheds pictured are still standing and now form part of Plater Production' spray drying manufacturing facility.

Community
Over the years, Plater Group has promoted and sponsored many initiatives in support of local communities and charitable organisations, in Glossop and Staffordshire.

Plater Group's Carbon Footprint reduced

Reducing our impact on the environment and minimising our carbon footprint is an important part of Plater Group's investment plans. One recent improvement has been the installation of a new steam distribution system around our manufacturing and services site.

Replacing the old and much-added-to system means we now have a fit-for-purpose and future-proof circulation loop that is much more energy efficient than before. We are able to collect and recycle hot condensate as well as the heat from the compressed air generated and recycle them back into the boiler. This in turn reduces the energy we need to run our manufacturing services and the amount of steam released into the air.
