Kitchen giant Howdens has unveiled its new multi-million pound state-of-the-art factory expansion, an investment creating 100 new jobs.
The East Yorkshire joinery specialist, understood to have invested tens of millions, opened up the Heartlands addition in the town it has taken as its name, onshoring production of high gloss cupboard door frontals from Italy.
The new line, which is more than a kilometre long and one of the largest of its type in Europe, was opened by David Davis, MP for Haltemprice and Howden. He joined Andrew Livingston, chief executive of the FTSE-listed business, for a tour of the site, which is being strategically expanded from 75 to 100 acres, as first revealed early last year.
