Citizen plans additional UK facility

Citizen Machinery UK is to open a new regional office, applications engineering and machine showroom in the West Midlands to enhance its customer service offer and “provide users with a significant machine preparation service to support the growing number of high-value, automated turnkey solutions” being handled by the company.

The circa £2m investment on a 1.1-acre site at the Hurst Business Park in Brierley Hill, near Birmingham, will include a 600 sq m showroom. Construction is scheduled to start in early 2018 and the new facility is expected to be officially opened late next year.
The existing headquarters/showroom, where the majority of office-based staff are located, was designed for the traditional Citizen sliding-head business, but now additional showroom space is required to support increasing demand for the company’s 51 and 64 mm bar capacity turning centres.
