Fruehauf production already on the up

Trailer manufacturer Fruehauf has said it has already increased production to 12 units per week and hopes to reach 20 units by year end.

It has been just four months since MV Commercial secured the future of Fruehauf and its 67-acre Grantham site with production now focusing on tipping trailers and several new products scheduled for launch during 2022.

An additional 30 new staff have been recruited since October with total employee numbers expecting to reach 175 by the end of the year.

Steven Cairns, MD of MV Commercial said: “As we start to see the result of the introduction of new build lines and state-of-the-art equipment, we anticipate that number reaching 20 a week before the end of the year.”
