Specifically , its UK division , which provides professional mechatronic , drive , motion controls , and robotics solutions to customers across the UK , is experiencing tremendous success , with the business announcing plans for a new UK headquarters and manufacturing site at the end of 2023 .
Marking a continuation of the company ’ s ambitious European expansion strategy , the new headquarters will comprise a 35,000 square-foot facility located at Hillthorn Park in Sunderland , among organizations like Nissan UK and the International Advanced Manufacturing Park ( IAMP ).
