Saft Plans New U.K. Site

Battery maker Saft will invest in a new manufacturing site in Britain to replace its facilities in South Shields, United Kingdom, which were acquired in 2001.

The company supplies batteries for industrial and defense markets, including the Ministry of Defense.

Saft said that its existing

U.K. site no longer meets future needs and plans to upgrade to a new manufacturing site rather than investing in upgrading its present base.

The company is working with local and regional bodies to identify a suitable location for the development of its new facility in the northeast of England.
