A Carmarthenshire manufacturing company is set to create 20 new jobs as part of expansion plans after purchasing a vacant Welsh government factory. Morgan Marine plans to invest £1.25 million to refurbish the building at Cilyrychen Industrial Estate, near Ammanford, to support its expansion.

Skilled welders will manufacture fabricated steel products from the site, which will also house an on-site training facility. The business currently employs 211 people, and will create 20 new jobs over the next three years.

Rebecca Evans, Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Energy and Planning, said: “Morgan Marine provides quality employment opportunities and is committed to developing the skillset within its community. I am delighted the purchase of our business unit means that Morgan Marine can continue to grow and expand its skilled workforce without abandoning its roots.”

Morgan Marine is also planning to develop a renewable energy source at the premises, potentially via installation of solar panels and wind turbines.

Rhydian Jones, managing director of Morgan Marine, said: “We are delighted to acquire a new unit from the Welsh government. This further reinforces our commitment to Llandybie and the surrounding area, as we look to create further skilled jobs for people in our community.”

He concluded: “As the company celebrates the significant milestone of 60 years in business in 2025, this development will mark a new chapter in the company’s history. The unit will allow us to meet our growth aspirations and to continue to be a major contributor to the local economy, as well as helping us to further develop Welsh manufacturing in the UK and world markets.”
