It is investing £250,000 in its facilities in Parc Dafen to increase capacity to meet rapidly expanding order books containing projects worth around £3million.

During the visit the Minister said: “It’s excellent news to hear of Welsh companies expanding, investing and creating jobs under challenging trading conditions, and I am pleased the Welsh Government is able to support these businesses realise their expansion plans.”
