into Germany Doncaster-based mechanical and electrical engineering firm, MechFS, has announced a move into Europe. The family-run company recently opened


premises in Mannheim, creating a new firm – Mech FS GMBH – and creating an initial extra 15 jobs across both the UK and Germany. Already, Mech FS has secured multi-


million Euro orders in both Germany and Romania and is in discussions with a number of clients about further projects in the European region. Paul Sutherland, Chief Executive of Mech


FS, said: “The opening of a base in Mannheim marks a major milestone for Mech FS and cements the first step of our European expansion strategy. We are really excited at continuing to integrate different cultures within the business. “We work with a wide range of


companies that serve the European markets, who are looking for reliable, high quality manufacturing and installation services on the continent. We’ve identified this need and worked with our customers to create a base in Germany that offers the same high levels of service and delivery that MechFS has built a reputation for over the past ten years.”
