Schneider Electric says it hopes to create 200 new jobs in Scarborough following news that it is to invest £42m in a new factory in the town.
The new facility at Scarborough Business park will be three time the size of the company's existing Scarborough plant.
Vice President - David Hall - says the investment is being driven by demand for green products and is a huge boost for the town.
Scarborough is a long-established manufacturing base for Schneider Electric, currently employing 450 people. It specialises in the manufacture of low-voltage switchgears which protect and distribute electricity and are crucial to the rollout of sustainable and energy-efficient operations such as EV charging infrastructure and net-zero buildings.
The new facility is expected to open early next year, David Hall - says it will mean more jobs for the town.
The investment in Scarborough is in addition to a £7.2 million facility upgrade to Schneider Electric’s site in Leeds, announced in October 2023, meaning the company will create more than 300 jobs in Yorkshire over the next ten years.
