Freyssinet is set to open a new factory in the UK for the manufacture, servicing and testing of bridge components.
The factory in Telford will enable Freyssinet to increase production and will also provide additional space for research and the development of new products.
Facilities include a bearing assembly area.
“With the continued growth and improvement in the UK’s manufacturing and construction industries, we are delighted to be opening a new factory, which will enable the company to expand on its manufacture, storage and laboratory testing,” said managing director Paul Bottomley, who will lead the opening celebrations on 21 December.
He added: “The new facility features one of the largest test presses in the country and state of the art equipment.”
Equipment for the factory has been chosen to be in line with the company’s sustainable technology ethos to ‘do more with less materials and energy’.
Freyssinet’s portfolio of products and services includes specialist repair, strengthening and protection of structures in the building, civil and marine sectors.
