Mecalac鈥檚 new factory, which is just a few miles from its previous site in Prologis Park in Coventry, houses the company鈥檚 site dumper and compaction roller production.
The French manufacturer entered the UK in 2017 with the acquisition of Terex鈥檚 legacy Benford and Fermec businesses at Prologis Park.聽
Heath Davies, general manager of Mecalac Construction Equipment UK, said: 鈥淗aving relocated our entire national operations in just a few short months, we鈥檙e delighted to see production begin. With the move taken into account when planning 2023 volumes, we鈥檙e delighted to have achieved such a significant undertaking with hopefully minimal disruption for our customers.
鈥淭he facility is modern, sustainable, purposely designed for the change in our product mix and perfectly suited to our future manufacturing operations. We鈥檇 been located in Prologis Park for many years, but the site no longer fitted our requirements. Embracing a new chapter in our journey enables us to support the introduction of new model additions, while maintaining Groupe Mecalac鈥檚 commitment to UK manufacturing.鈥�
