The new £20 million Moog factory at the i54 site has been officially opened.Aerospace company, Moog, joins scientific testing business Eurofins, which opened its 40,000sqft office and laboratory headquarters at i54 in June. A new £355 million Jaguar Land Rover factory, which will create 750 jobs, is also being built on the business park.

More than 50 guests attended the special ceremony, including MPs, company directors, current employees and local councillors.

Emma said “I was very pleased to see this fantastic factory up and running. I want to congratulate everybody who made this big move from the former Wobaston site happen.

“Moog was the first company to sign up to the i54 site and is now operational in this impressive state of the art facility.”

“The aerospace cluster in Wolverhampton is thriving. I often speak in Parliament about the importance of the aerospace industry in the UK which is the largest in Europe and second only to the US globally.

As the Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group in Parliament, I am working closely with Moog and other local aerospace companies to represent their concerns to the Government and to highlight their successes.”
