Sparkling new products for Ifor Williams' diamond anniversary

Celebrating 60 years of trailer production Ifor Williams Trailers has opened a new factory and released new products.

Coinciding with 60 years of production, the iconic trailer manufacturer, Ifor Williams Trailers has opened a new production facility in its homeland of North Wales.


Its new 6000sq.m production facility started manufacturing in November last year, and recently opened by Ken Skates, the Welsh Government's cabinet secretary for the economy and transport.


The new facility is responsible for the production of livestock trailers, with everything from the company's diddy P6e through to the tri-axle TA510. In total more than 750,000 trailers have rolled off the firm's various production sites in the past six decades.


At a cost of £5 million the new site features the latest in metal fabrication and production line technology, enabling the company to take on more orders at a reduced lead time, it says. With an eye to the future the company hopes the investment will help in negating any risk from Brexit and increase exports in the coming years.

In addition to the factory opening the event also played host to a number of new product launches.
