Third major firm starts construction at i54
Work has started on a new manufacturing centre at the i54 in Wolverhampton.
It is the third major business in recent months to begin construction at the advanced manufacturing hub.
The development will be the new headquarters of Tentec Ltd which is a provider in providers of specialist bolts.
The factory will provide 46,000 sq ft of production and office space for 80 employees, who are currently based in West Bromwich..
Staffordshire County Council’s economic growth leader, Mark Winnington, said: “The i54 South Staffordshire success story continues and we are seeing near full occupancy on site.
"These are high-end businesses providing skilled local jobs and research and training facilities.
"Tentec’s presence at the site furthers its reputation as a leading regional hub for advanced manufacturing and engineering. This is great news for our economy and local job creation. It again demonstrates that Staffordshire is the place to do business.”
The Tentec development follows Eurofins, the food testing company, beginning a £1.5 million major expansion last month. The Belgian-owned company moved its operations onto i54 South Staffordshire five years ago.
