Gessmann has been developing and producing products since the 1930s, with a headquarters in Germany and a number of other offices across Europe and America.

The decision to launch in the UK reflects Gessmann’s belief in the value of the British market and the potential for growth in the area.

Michael said: “I think for us it’s great to see another European company investing into the area, especially post-Brexit.”

The Langtoft base was chosen for its proximity to the A1.

Two members of staff are currently working at the site with further recruitment planned.
