Sarginsons Industries has invested to upgrade its sand foundry, which will see the firm making new components for the aluminium chassis of future vehicles for the global automotive giant.
Work is set to start this month after the company invested in new process controls and mixing equipment at its manufacturing facility in Torrington Avenue.
Sarginsons will provide the parts to two tier one suppliers to Jaguar Land Rover, which will form part of the company’s next generation of vehicles.
Says Sarginsons MD Anthony Evans: “We continue to invest to ensure that we are able to bid for and land new contracts with major manufacturers.
“We don’t supply JLR directly but our components have to meet the very stringent standards set by the world’s biggest OEMs.
“The programme of work will start in June and we are very excited to be part of this next generation of vehicles.
“As well investing in our equipment and processes, we also continue to invest in our staff and training to ensure we can deliver major contracts and programmes such as this.”
