Their main engineering plant is in South Wales but it has three other plants in the UK with the smallest one in Yorkshire, England…The company had been trading successfully but has been badly affected by the recession.

In October 2018, they spent £750,000 on ‘retooling’ their Welsh plant and invested £600,000 on staff training. This change has resulted in 45 semi skilled workers being made redundant. The company now employs 333 staff of whom 12%come from European Union countries outwith the United Kingdom.
