Marchant Cain seeing increased demand

Marchant Cain Ltd (www.marchantcain.co.uk), a Coventry-based design engineering company, says it is increasing its operations due to the growing interest in electric vehicles. The German-owned company is planning to relocate to larger premises in preparation for an expected surge in demand and production. This comes after it agreed a number of new deals with some major automotive OEMs and signed a deal with a German manufacturer of electric vehicles.

Rob Marchant, managing director of Marchant Cain, said that he is expecting 2018 to be the company’s biggest growth year ever. He said his team are planning for the increase in work, “even though the impact will not be felt for two years. Light-weighting of vehicles and active aerodynamics are moving higher up the OEM agenda and, as a result of years specialising in this field, we are really reaping the rewards.”
