Schmitz Cargobull, a European manufacturer of semi-trailers, is opening a new factory in Manchester to build customised vehicles for UK and Irish operators. CEO Andreas Schmitz says: “The UK is a key transport and logistics market for us, as well as an important semi-trailer and rigid truck market. With the new plant we are moving closer to our customers and ensuring that we can address their needs by offering the most reliable chassis and a proven locally-produced body.” Manufacturing at the 7,500 sq m facility in Wythenshawe will start this summer with a capacity of 50 units per week.
