The Brief

Angus MacKinnon, a valued Todd Engineering customer for over two years, opened a purpose-built bodyshop in Uttoxeter with sustainability at the core of every decision. After witnessing the Zeus all-electric system in action at a neighbouring facility, owner Stuart committed to an all-electric setup with solar integration planned — setting a benchmark for the sector.

The Solution

Todd Engineering installed two Zeus Full Downdraught Spray Booths with all-electric operation eliminating fossil fuels entirely, raised floor design for optimised airflow and superior finish quality. Far Infrared Curing Technology cures paint at molecular level for faster drying times and measurably lower energy consumption. A Paint Mixing Room provides advanced controls for seamless workflow and precise colour matching, supported by a high-performance Compressor System. The facility has been designed to integrate solar energy in the future, targeting fully renewable-powered operation.

Customer Overview

Angus MacKinnon, a well-established name in vehicle repair and refinishing, has been a valued customer of Todd Engineering for over two years. Known for their dedication to high-quality service and innovation, Angus MacKinnon recently expanded operations with a new purpose-built bodyshop in Uttoxeter, designed to enhance efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

The Project

With sustainability at the forefront, Angus MacKinnon partnered with Todd Engineering to equip their new facility with state-of-the-art technology. Having previously used an external Olympian spray booth, owner Stuart was inspired by the exceptional performance of the Zeus all-electric spray booth at another customer's site and decided to integrate this cutting-edge solution into the new facility.
