UK production site to open this summer
Semi-trailer manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull is opening a new factory in UK: Production at the 7,500 sqm facility in Wythenshawe, Greater Manchester, is scheduled to start this summer with a capacity of 50 units per week including freepost curtainsiders and box van semi-trailers.
The site will also contain a 1,000 sqm spare parts warehouse for local supply and by the end of this year will become the main base for the complete Schmitz Cargobull UK team.
Managing directors of Schmitz Cargobull UK are jointly Paul Avery for operations and Alan Hunt for the sales and service activities, Cargobull reported.
The new operation joins an extensive Schmitz Cargobull production network with facilities in Germany, Lithuania, Russia, Spain, Turkey and Australia. (ben)
