A new factory in Grimsby will create almost 400 jobs, boosting the local economy and bringing carbon fibre production back to the area.
Grimsby: A new factory is coming to the area. It could create nearly 400 jobs when fully operational. Exciting news for the local community!
LeMond Carbon UK Ltd is behind this project. They plan to build a carbon fibre manufacturing line at Humber Gate off Energy Park Way. This company is linked to Greg LeMond, a famous Tour de France winner.
The factory will feature a large manufacturing line, offices, and a utilities compound. It will be the first UK facility for LeMond. The site will also have yellow elements to honor LeMond’s Tour de France victories.
By 2030, the factory is expected to employ 384 people. The site is currently brownfield land, previously used for storing granite boulders for a sea wall project.
North East Lincolnshire Council has supported this development from the start. They believe it will bring carbon fibre production back to the area and create quality jobs.
Council leader Cllr Philip Jackson highlighted the investment’s importance. He noted it would provide well-paid jobs and support the local economy.
