Bystronic UK combines operations in Coventry

Bystronic UK has brought together its Leeds and Chard sites at a new facility in Coventry.

The new building, which combines showroom, spares stores, offices and training facilities, officially opens for business on 4 January, 2010. Located close to Junction 3 of the M6, the central location means that most of its customers now fall within a 2 ½ hour journey, while the closeness of Birmingham airport was another factor in choosing the location, says the company. There will be an official opening in the spring, which will also coincide with a centennial celebration relating to press brake and guillotine specialist FJ Edwards, which was acquired by Bystronic. The full address and contact details for the new company are: Bystronic UK 6 Wayside Business Park Wilsons Lane Coventry Warks CV6 6NY Telephone numbers are unchanged at: 0844 848 5850 (all departments); 0844 848 5842 (service and out-of-hours calls); 0844 848 5851 (fax)
