News Release 22nd June 2007UNITECH IN BURNTWOODMichael Fabricant met with staff and directors of Unitech in Burntwood on Friday 22nd June to discuss issues affecting the company which is the second largest manufacturer in the country of stainless steel and aluminium equipment for use in the food processing and pharmaceutical industries. "The skills shortage in the West Midlands is really hitting Unitech" says Michael Fabricant. "Too many people are taking degrees in media studies then finding themselves unemployed while Unitech are now having to bring in welders from Poland. I shall be raising this and other matters with Government Ministers. Burntwood is also losing out because grants are not available to purchase machinery - though they are available in other towns. I shall be raising this with Advantage West Midlands. This post code lottery is plainly unacceptable. "But it is good news that Unitech is such a major player in the hygiene industry. Current projects include the construction of a food processing plant in California."
