WFEL has awarded a three-year contract to Chesterfield-based Wesco Anixter for the supply of components to be used in the assembly and integration of the Boxer Armoured Vehicles for UK MoD.
Following the announcement last year by the creation of 120 jobs at Stockport-based WFEL as a result of contracts for the MoD, the next round of vacancies is now available.
WFEL has hosted John Healey, shadow secretary of state for defence, at its Stockport military manufacturing facility, accompanied by Stockport MP Navendu Mishra.
Stockport-based defence supplier WFEL has signed a 10-year deal with German company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) to produce hulls for new Boxer vehicles.
The first UK subcontractor involved in the manufacture of the MoD's new Boxer combat vehicle has been awarded to WFEL, a Tier 1 supplier to the project.
WFEL, the UK subsidiary of German defence company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), is creating a substantial number of jobs as a result of a recently signed £2.3 billion contract to manufacture 500 Boxer military vehicles.
WFEL, a world leader in the design and manufacture of tactical military and disaster relief bridges, turned to Edgecam to program its expanding range of CNC machines.
