This latest project by the Group in Wales is in addition to a previous investment of £4 million in Blaenavon for the development of the company's engine-ready components strategy. The new investment will enable the Group to undertake work in Wales that was previously sub-contracted to a specialist supplier. The company had considered locating the new facility in Poland before opting for Blaenavon.
