Jobs boost as Chinese manufacturer Detank invests in Coventry - 'From the Birmingham Post'

Chinese manufacturer Detank has announced plans to open a new UK headquarters in the Midlands.

The company, which builds heavy duty earth movers and fork lift trucks, has earmarked land in Coventry for its new factory – with dozens of jobs set to follow.

Launched just four years ago on the banks of the Yangtze River, Detank has already become one of the world’s fastest-growing industrial machinery brands.
