100 jobs promised at new factory

METALS giant MTL has pledged to bring 100 new jobs to Rotherham after opening a new factory with a £5 million cash injection.

The firm has opened its new state-of-the-art facility at Grange Lane, Brinsworth, following £5 million funding from Lloyds Bank.

The manufacturer’s relocation to the new 300,000 square foot facility follows years of growth that have seen the company's annual turnover rise to £50 million.

Managing director Dr Henry Shirman said: “We are proud of our roots here in Yorkshire and proud of our business.

“Our reputation for quality and service has underpinned our expansion as we grew from one factory to four factories in different locations.

“The opening of this state-of-the-art facility means we are all able to work on one site and we have provision for future growth and expansion.”

MTL Group has invested in the latest technology for the new plant, which boasts the largest laser in the UK and a 640-tonne robotic press, which is the biggest of its kind anywhere in the world.
