Cosma Casting UK has had plans approved to increase the floorspace at its Telford 54 Business Park by 46 per cent.

The extended factory will home two new die-casting units to support manufacturing of additional product lines from the factory. Plans also include an area for tool storage and two-storey offices.

Applicant Magna International Holding stated that the expansion comes after the company recently secured a new contract to manufacture additional product lines.

The new contract will create 62 new full-time jobs in addition to its existing 400 strong workforce.

The new die-casting units will be used to manufacture additional product lines of ‘high strength aluminum components’ for the electric vehicle automotive industry.
