We are delighted to have been given the opportunity to have a new base in a region where engineering pedigree has always been held in such high regard and look forward to recruiting new R&D positions. Rugby and the surrounding communities have so much to offer from their well-connected supply lines to the wealth of experience from a multitude of disciplines already present in the area. We look forward to making this our UK home and, in turn, we hope we can offer the community part of ourselves and to add to the growing development of cleantech in Rugby.”
