Construction is underway on a new state-of-the-art centre of operations for MiTek in Europe, providing a modern work environment for staff alongside positioning the business for long-term growth prospects.
The new 278,000 sq ft facility is being built at Worcester Six Business Park, strategically positioned near Junction 6 of the M5 motorway, and represents a significant investment in the construction industry and a confidence in the growing Posi-Joist market.
Alongside playing a pivotal role in helping MiTek serve its customers through its pioneering software, engineered products and machinery to automate processes and services, the new building will also allow for expansion, meaning the business can continue to grow.
James Morgan, Managing Director of MiTek’s EMEA operations, said: “We wanted to relocate to a place where there is space for expansion in the future with good transport links, Worcester Six Business Park really ticked all the boxes for what we were looking for.
“This will be our home for decades now. It will provide smart, contemporary facilities for staff, alongside having a positive impact on economic growth and signifying our loyalty to the industry and our markets.”
As the market for Posi-Joist continues to thrive, the new building shows a commitment to the construction industry and to housebuilders striving to meet housing targets.
In 2024, MiTek staff came together for a special event to visit the site of the new building, which is set to be completed by the end of this year.
Tim Garner, Commercial Director of MiTek UK & Ireland, said: “We’re incredibly excited about what this investment means for our customers and the wider industry. We’re committed to manufacturing in the UK and this new facility will not only be a hub for innovation and collaboration but will also feature expanded manufacturing and warehousing capabilities for connector plates and Posi-Joist steel webs.
“With this larger footprint, we’ll be able to manufacture and stock more product as well as store additional raw materials, ensuring we can respond to industry demands. The new offices will provide a brilliant environment to work with colleagues and meet with customers and partners.”
The new facility is part of a wider investment and expansion programme by MiTek, which has seen new facilities launch in the USA, Canada, Vietnam, Sweden and New Zealand.
