Layton's Sales Manager Chris O'Rourke explained that they had brought together this budget range of component cleaning systems in response to the need for companies to up-date their parts cleaning processes to comply with impending regulations.

We also offer a range of affordable purchase options including lease-purchase." For companies who want to outsource their component cleaning, Layton have also opened a contract cleaning service offering an efficient alternative to in-house parts cleaning.
