Renishaw, is to invest over £50m at its Miskin site in Wales to increase manufacturing capacity and help meet its net-zero emissions targets. The investment will see 37,000 sq m of additional low-carbon buildings created at the 193 acre site to the west of Cardiff, consisting of two new production halls and an employee welfare facility. Renishaw currently employs 650 people at the site. The company will also refurbish the existing production halls to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Construction will take place in phases, with a 15-month programme of work starting in July 2022 to build the first of the new halls, the welfare facility and supporting infrastructure. The basic shell for the second new production hall will be built by December 2024 and be fully constructed when business levels require its use. The details of the operations that will take place in each of the new halls is yet to be fully determined, but the additional capacity will allow for increases to machining operations and the assembly of products already built at the site.
