Manufacturer Lontra has launched its first phase of a recruitment drive for the 300 employees it aims to welcome to a new £17m smart factory at Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
The Midlands company develops, manufactures and exports high value industrial machinery for critical sectors, and the new base will create products for world-wide food manufacture, pharmaceutical products and water treatment, among others. Its award-winning Blade Compressor technology brings major efficiency to energy intensive operations.
To meet anticipated demand the business is investing, supported by £7 million from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority.
