Manufacturer to create European HQ in Warwick
Electrical manufacturer Sodick is to build a 45,000 sq ft site in Warwick as it creates a new European headquarters for the business.
The Japanese business has been in Coventry for 10 years and will move its 46 staff, which run its sales, service and marketing support operation, to Tournament Fields.
Sodick manufactures electrical discharge machines which are used to make tools and parts for a variety of industries including automobile, aerospace, electronics.
Sodick’s European chief executive Peter Capp said: “The desire to build a new state-of-the-art-factory has been an objective of our expansion programme for several years and despite the UK Brexit vote we still decided that the UK was the perfect place to continue our growth.
“Our Coventry base has been steadily growing its business over the last decade and we now turnover £45m per year. We believe this is a great opportunity for us to continue to grow in the UK and Europe.”
Sodick has been advised by law firm Wright Hassall, independent property consultants and chartered surveyors, Wareing & Company, and Sodick’s property agents, Bromwich Hardy.
