This expansion of the UK manufacturing facilities supports our customers and their ambitions to participate in the unprecedented demand for passive network solutions across the UK, where targets are set for at least 85% of premises to have access to gigabit broadband in the next five years. The expansion will improve efficiencies and facilitate improved capacity for our UK customers to support their ambitious network rollouts."
The expansion into Wrexham will see increased manufacturing capacity for the UK and global network providers, improved efficiencies and additional capacity to deliver to UK and global customers.
Mainetti UK Managing Director Jim Hutchison said: "We are delighted to have Emtelle establish a base from our existing manufacturing site in Wrexham. Mainetti and Emtelle have a long-established relationship; this expansion will allow both of us to continue to thrive as British manufacturers."
