SILO CONFIGURATOR ON PORTASILO'S NEW WEBSITE GOES LIVE NEXT WEEK

York-based engineering company Portasilo which specialises in the design and manufacture of bulk materials handling systems is launching a new responsive website packed with information and features designed to give visitors a richer insight into the company.

The new website has been optimised for smartphones and mobile devices and offers a more comprehensive view of Portasilo's services, products and turnkey solutions for organisations operating in the global food, chemical, energy, nuclear, construction and water sectors.

Visitors will be able to access a bespoke silo configurator, case studies featuring international clients such as AkzoNobel, Lafarge, Nestle, and Heinz, sector-specific reports and industry news, as well as links to Portasilo's growing social media networks.

Portasilo marketing manager Fin Farrelly said: "We have restructured our content to make it easier for visitors to find information relevant to their industry sector quickly. The responsive design, as well as features such as the silo configurator and social media profiles, will hopefully encourage more interaction with visitors and give them a more valuable experience."
