About Us...

Astra Vehicle Technologies Ltd is a privately owned limited company
(reg: 5452089) founded in 2005 following a management buyout of the partial assets of Adastra (a subsidiary of The Associated Octel Co Ltd)

Owned by John Chadderton & Bill Critchley, Astra specialises in the supply of specialist exhaust systems and emission control products, in which specialities the two directors have a combined experience of more than 50 years. More recently Astra has added resources to provide a unique
"one stop shop" where customers can obtain both exhaust and chassis modification services, thus significantly reducing vehicle movements.

Astra is currently located on the Innospec Manufacturing Park in Ellesmere Port Cheshire, on a secure site which is well located for a nationally based business having excellent access to all major motorway networks. The company is housed in a 1600 m2 (approx 17,000 Sq Ft) manufacturing unit, with additional office space.

Astra's primary commitment is for continual improvement and to provide past, present and future customers with an excellence of service which is matched only by the quality of it's products.
