Manufacturer closes overseas facility in ‘strategic consolidation’ move

Ossett-headquartered high-precision plastics components provider, Carclo, has confirmed it is shutting down its manufacturing facility in Tucson, Arizona.

It explains this represents the culmination of its US restructuring efforts.

In an update released today, the business states that most of the manufacturing volumes from the Tucson site are being relocated to its facilities in Pennsylvania, USA.

Carclo adds: “This move not only consolidates our technical and manufacturing expertise but also brings production closer to our Design & Engineering centre, fostering innovation and efficiency.

“Furthermore, Carclo is leveraging its global footprint to redistribute manufacturing capacity.

“This strategic reallocation is designed to position our production facilities closer to our customer bases, thereby improving service levels, reducing lead times, and facilitating more sustainable operations.

“This restructuring is a key component of our strategy to achieve operational excellence, financial stability, and sustainable growth.

“By concentrating our operations, we aim to enhance our competitive edge, innovate more effectively, and provide superior value to our customers and stakeholders.”
