Chesterfield manufacturer opens new factory
Chesterfield manufacturer Krantech Holdings Ltd recently opened their new £2.1 million factory. The new building complements the company’s existing medium/heavy fabrication workshop.
Krantech employs 50 people and they were awarded a Regional Growth Fund grant from Sheffield City Region of £300K for the 10,000 square foot new CNC factory based at Colliery Close in Staveley, Chesterfield.
Formally opening the event, Mel Myronko CEO spoke of how the development will open up opportunities in new markets as well as supporting their existing in-house machining requirements.
Mel said “It’s been hard work and one of the largest financial commitments of my whole working life, but I’m ecstatic to finally see the hard work and persistence pays off”.
Martin Wright, Director of Supply Chain at OneSubsea who formally opened the facility said “It is truly an honour to open Krantech’s new CNC facility which will clearly enhance their capabilities and support our ongoing relationship.
Year 9 and 10 students from The Bolsover School attended the opening to learn about manufacturing. Mrs Crossley from The Bolsover School said “It is a great opportunity for the students to learn more about the world of work and in particular engineering.”
Guests that attended the the official opening, including the Mayor and Mayoress of Chesterfield, enjoyed a champagne reception followed by a tour of the new facility.
