From flea powder to satellites: Family firm takes on new challenge
A Billingshurst business which once specialised in producing flea powder will now be making satellite components as part of a project worth 8.5m euros.
Thomas Keating Ltd has been a family business for over 230 years and became famous for its flea powder which carried the slogan ‘Keatings Kills!’.
The company, based in Daux Road, will be creating parts for new satellites which will be used by the European Space Agency over the next few decades as part of a weather satellite programme.
