Siemens relocates mechanical drives manufacturing(04/11/2010)
Siemens Industry Automation & Drive Technologies (IA&DT) has relocated a key manufacturing plant from its old Bradford site in West Yorkshire to a larger Leeds based factory near the M1 motorway. Siemens IA&DT took over the Flender gear unit and geared motor factory – along with its German parent in Bocholt – five years ago, and since that time has been investing significantly in the mechanical drives side of the business.
