MERSEYSIDE, UK – March 2026

The Darcy Group, established in 1935, has taken on a third building in Merseyside to expand technical production of its drain closure systems and pollution monitoring alarms. With this addition, the company now operates five buildings, including its Leeds operations site and Kent headquarters.

Rapid growth across both product lines has driven this expansion. The rise of the digital infrastructure sector has increased demand for tertiary containment solutions, while tightening environmental regulations have boosted sales of pollution monitoring alarms, including those for oil water separators. Serving both end customers — with full installation, commissioning, and maintenance — and separator manufacturers with white-labelled products, Darcy’s technical production team has scaled up to meet demand across all markets.

“This expansion reflects the strength of our business and the increasing demand for compliant spill control solutions across all markets,” said Richard Proctor, Group Managing Director of the Darcy Group. “Investing in additional space and higher-capacity manufacturing ensures we can continue to meet customer needs now and in the future.”

As part of the expansion, the company is investing in higher-capacity, automated PCB manufacturing equipment to ensure production can keep pace with future growth. The move also coincides with key appointments in 2026, including a new Sales Manager for Darcy Spillcare, joining in January.

For over 90 years, the Darcy Group has combined practical experience with technological innovation to meet evolving regulations, customer expectations, and environmental challenges. This latest expansion reinforces the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting customers across all sectors with high-quality, compliant solutions.
