Work has commenced on a new UK facility for cutting tool specialist Sandvik Coromant. Established in Halesowen since 1958, the company will demolish the existing building and transform the site into a new landmark UK headquarters. In addition to housing employees, the facility will act as a hub for manufacturing innovation and
customer interaction.

The Halesowen site will also provide a comfortable and high-tech working space for the company’s UK employees. With flexible hot-desking space for 100 office-based workers, the site boasts an eco-conscious design. Key features include the installation of solar panels and 26 electric vehicle (EV) charging points, with the capacity to offer EV charging for all 130 parking spaces in the near future. The new facility is due to open in summer 2022.
