Vortex designs and manufactures equipment for de-pollution end of life vehicles. The equipment has evolved from the earliest days of the UK ELV Directive, when they were asked by Sims Metals to manufacture a system to remove fuels from scrap cars, today that business has grown to cover a full range of specialist vehicle de-pollution tools and equipment and all associated products for vehicle salvage operators, it now includes garage equipment, tools, tanks and process equipment. They manufacture in Nottingham for the UK and European market and in Denver, Colorado for the North American market.

Potential customers have a variety of issues that they face when deciding what they want from an ELV de-pollution station. It may be limited space, it could be related to the number of vehicles they want to process, or details down to potential spill containment, this is why Vortex has developed equipment for every possibility and it is what really differentiates us from our competitors. They are engineers first and foremost and what their customers like is the bespoke engineering they get with our system, the well thought out designs that means their equipment just keeps on working efficiently day-in day-out in a very tough environment.
