“Combining manufacturing technologies with our existing logistics infrastructure in the region will both contribute to improved production efficiency and service levels for our customers.”
Production at the new factory will be ramping up during the coming six months.
Concurrently, manufacture will be transferred from the Group’s factory in Hobart, Oklahoma, which is in the process of being closed.
In-line with the Group’s ambitions to reduce the environmental impact of its operations, the new factory will be LEED certified.
