The new facility will be built at the T54 technology park in Telford so that the Austrian firm, which has a UK base at Bromyard in Herefordshire, can service several new contracts that it has recently won from vehicle manufacturers.
Polytec’s plans incorporate three stages of development starting with the new paint plant and assembly hall then progressing to manufacturing facility and finally an additional assembly hall. Planning permission for the site has already been submitted.
A spokesman for Polytec, said: “We are very excited about this investment as it will allow us to both increase our capacity and introduce the latest technologies specifically in the painting process.”
The site comes as a direct result of a land deal between Telford & Wrekin Council and the Homes and Communities Agency, secured as part of the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership’s Growth Deal.
Shaun Davies, leader of Telford & Wrekin Council leader, said: “The investment into strategic improvements both through our £50 million Growth Fund and Marches Local Enterprise Partnership funding has been critical in enabling this development to come forward.
“This builds on last year’s announcement of Magna International’s plans to build their aluminium casting facility at T54.”
