Construction of a state-of-the-art centre of engineering excellence for IMI Truflo Marine a manufacturer of critical flow control solutions has started at a strategic site in the West Midlands.
A groundbreaking ceremony has been staged at the site of the manufacturing and design facility at Birmingham’s Advanced Manufacturing Hub (AMH).
Barberry Industrial, a West Midlands-based property investor and developer, was selected to purchase the site from Birmingham City Council and Homes England and deliver the 57,000 sq ft headquarters and manufacturing building on behalf of IMI Truflo Marine.
The engineering company will relocate to the manufacturing hub in Witton from its existing facility nearby. It has agreed on a 15-year lease on the new facility. The move not only safeguards the jobs of its existing skilled workforce but creates new employment opportunities.
