Boeing to open first European factory at Catcliffe
Boeing has announced plans to open its first European commercial factory in South Yorkshire, creating at least 30 jobs. If approved, the GBP20m plant will be built next to an existing research centre founded in 2001 by Boeing and the University of Sheffield. The company said the factory, at Catcliffe in Rotherham, could also lead to new jobs in the supply industry. The plant will manufacture hi-tech aircraft components. President of Boeing Europe, Michael Arthur, said: "We, as a company, want to start making these very sophisticated components - actuation systems, the gearing systems on wings, and Sheffield is a good place to come," he added. The factory, which will produce actuators for 737, 737 MAX and 777 aircraft, will be next to the AMRC centre. Boeing said it would also increase its commitment to research at the site. <br/>
