ENERGY sector portable machine tool specialist Mirage Machines, an Acteon Company, has invested a six figure sum in the expansion of its headquarters in Derby, UK, as it responds to continuously rising demand for its pipecutting and flange facing technology.

Mirage Machines has acquired new office premises 5,000 sq ft adjacent to its existing engineering headquarters, to facilitate the extension of its manufacturing and service operations workshop to 17,000 sq ft.

The site, at Enterprise Way, includes full-scale technology engineering, fabrication, maintenance and R&D departments producing machines used across the international oil and gas, and petrochemical industries.

Mirage employs more than 40 people and up to six new jobs are expected to be created as the company targets a trebling of its annual turnover by 2016.
