Inside the Factory – Numatic International | CSG - Home - Cleaning Services - Office Cleaning - Contract Cleaning

Fascinating episode of Inside the Factory on the BBC last night at Numatic International – home of our hardest working machinery, the Henry vacuum.

See below some of the interesting facts about the home of the Henry that we learned:

Numatic is the biggest vacuum factory in the UK
1.2 million vacuums are made every year by Numatic
They produce 5000 vacuums every day
Henry is made up of 32 different parts
A red Henry drum is produced every 55 seconds
The famous Henry face started by someone drawing a face on a vacuum cleaner at a trade show as a joke to draw people in – people loved it and the Henry face as we know it began
The wheels are made from recycled plastic
It takes less than a minute to put together the base including the casters, wheels, hubcaps, face, nose, bag and filter
The fan spins at 35,000 revolutions a minute, sucking in air at 90 miles per hour!
Henry has a 10 meter cable – great to get to those hard to reach places!
Henry has been in production for 40 years
Henry has his own wand, yes really – the tube that connects the brush and the hose
90 miles of wands are produced every week
That small hole in the tube – this is a pressure release valve
It takes one hour and twenty minutes to make a Henry, twenty one individuals are involved to make him

Henry is such a vital part of our day to day work. CSG are proud to support a UK based company such as Numatic.
