![]() Perhaps that shouldnt come as a surprise. Now celebrating its 20th anniversary, Combilift has grown from a kick-start staff of three. Its current workforce is now 550, and the new facilities and expansion mode mean a further 200 new jobs are on the cards in the next three years. All of this paves the way for production to double in the next five years. The new purpose-built factory is set on a 100-acre site allowing room for further expansion when required. It takes us three hours to tour the facilities, stopping for demonstrations and explanations of a wide range of heavy load handling machinery, multi-directional powered forklifts and space-saving warehouse products. |

We have employed an additional 230 people since we announced our plans for this factory in 2015 and we are planning to recruit an additional 200 in the next three years, he said. |
![]() Then we went off on the tour. We started in the computer offices were we saw lots of busy workers on computers. Then Dominic went on to show us into the design area were we got to see a worker on his computer designing a 3D format of one of the forklifts which he would then show to a customer before they purchased it. We were amazed by this use of technology, to see how they design their forklifts so that every customer gets exactly what they want. Then we were shown the safety exits before going into the actual manufacturing part of the factory. The transition between a quiet working office and a busy working factory was really cool. We were guided through the different rooms which had different productions stages. Each room in the production area was very high. One of the last rooms we went into, we could see all the different Combilift products in action. |
