The company is aiming for a 300% increase in its manufacturing capacity, with the new O'Hara House facility scheduled to open in early 2027, close to MGF's headquarters.
The investment will be accompanied by the adoption of modern manufacturing techniques, improved efficiencies and enhanced quality control processes. Sustainability has also been a key consideration in the development plans, with the new facility designed to deliver long鈥憈erm environmental benefits through smarter use of space and energy鈥慹fficient operations.
The expansion will create a significant increase in the workforce, MGF says, supporting new jobs across manufacturing and operational roles. MGF says it remains committed to investing in local people, providing long-term career opportunities, training and development, and contributing positively to the regional economy.
The increased capacity will allow MGF to support growing demand, strengthen support for its global customer base, and maintain flexibility, reliability and speed of delivery without compromising on quality.
Marc Lord, operations director at MGF, said, 鈥淭his investment is a hugely important step for MGF. Increasing our manufacturing capacity by this scale allows us to invest in innovation, sustainability and, most importantly, our people. Keeping the new facility close to our head office shows our commitment to the local area and to the values the business was founded on. Naming it O鈥橦ara House is a fitting tribute to Michael O鈥橦ara and the legacy he created.鈥�
