EAG to go ahead with its Fab new factory

Multi Fab, part of Mildenhall-based English Architectural Glazing, is pressing ahead with a new factory in Attleborough.

The project was put on hold last year when the economic downturn kicked in, but managing director Simon Gladwin said the business was performing strongly.

The £1.5m investment is expected to bring about 35 jobs to the town.

"We have focused on customer service in this specialist sheet metal area of the business, which has resulted in recent growth in orders and customers," he said. "This has given us the confidence to move this phase of our expansion forward."

The factory is scheduled for completion in December.
