“Our mission is to source, make, deliver and then sustainably dispose of all EV technologies, helping to drive social change and the adoption of zero-emission vehicles,” said Evtech Automotive chairman, David Roberts.
“We are rebuilding with purpose. That is our ethos. We are employing more disadvantaged people, driving profit to create social value.”
Evtec Automotive recently acquired Arlington Engineered Systems, part of Arlington Industries Group. Monthly sales are now back to pre-crisis levels, and the company says it is on target to achieve its employment strategy by end of March 2021, with 35% of jobs being given to disabled workers.
“The Coventry plant’s rebirth, under the new Evtec Automotive brand, represents its next natural evolution,” added Roberts. “It will now become an essential supplier and sub assembly integrator to car makers in the UK and Europe for complex assemblies in electrical and cooling systems.
“The business is positioning itself as a key Tier One supplier to the rapidly growing EV sector. With Jaguar Land Rover and many other major customers now really accelerating their electrification plans, we’re positioning ourselves to supply this demand for electric vehicle sales rapidly increase in the coming years.
“Developing a viable electric vehicle supply base is also vital to the future competitiveness of the automotive industry in this country.”
Evtech’s 80,000 sq ft plant has long employed disabled workers. Originally it was part of Remploy, a scheme formerly sponsored by the British Department of Work and Pensions to provide sustainable employment for disabled people.
