UK strip tillage equipment manufacturer Mzuri has announced plans to open a new factory in Poland.
The company, which is based in Worcestershire, has formed a joint venture with Polish company AN-ARGO to build the new facility.
It said the expansion was needed to meet the “rapidly growing demand in export and home markets”.
The new Polish factory, which is to be built in the country’s Bydgoszcz region, will mainly produce machinery for the eastern and central European markets.
Its UK facility in Pershore will continue to manufacture, market and service machines for the UK, Scandinavian and western European regions.
Mzuri managing director Martin Lole said: “These are very exciting times for the company and we look forward to pooling our resources with AN-AGRO to grow the European region further. The business has been going from strength to strength with the demand more than doubling this year, both in the UK and overseas.
“With the interest being particularly strong in Poland, Russia and Ukraine, the decision to open a factory close to market will help us to better service the area. The additional capacity in Poland is intended to free up some of the UK’s production which will allow us to be more responsive to the rapidly expanding UK market.”
