Manufacturer to create jobs with launch of facility producing face and eye protection

A Leamington manufacturer has launched a production facility dedicated to the manufacture of face and eye protection, a move it says will create a number of jobs.

Tecman said the investment supports its vision to become a global leader in producing face and eye protection in the long-term.

The new premises includes 10,000 sq ft of storage, a new automation system to streamline production, and state-of-the-art machinery to boost manufacturing capacity.

Having a new production line dedicated to the manufacturing of PPE visors means Tecman can produce over a million protective visors each week.

Tecman’s technical director, Kevin Porter, said: “Developing and manufacturing an effective product to support frontline workers has already led to the creation of 30 new jobs at Tecman.

“Our expansion into new premises creates a need to expand our team further, and we’re delighted to be able to offer jobs within the West Midlands during a time when many are unable to work.”

Tecman said it expects to create a further 10 jobs in the near future.
