Ground-breaking ceremony at EDM’s new £1.3m facility

EDM, a leading global provider of training simulators to the civil aviation and defence sectors, officially started the construction work on EDM’s new £1.3m manufacturing facility, in a turf-cutting ceremony at the company’s headquarters in Newton Heath, east Manchester. The 18,000 ft² structure is being built to meet the demands of the company’s rapidly increasing order book as it enjoys 20% growth year-on-year since 2012. The purpose-built facility will host up to 40 employees and provide all the resources needed to enable the company to manufacture its full range of training simulators for defence and civil aviation customers. Being constructed adjacent to EDM’s existing 100,000 ft² site, the new facility is expected to be completed by March 2017.
