Economy Minister and Senedd Member, Vaughan Gething

We were delighted to welcome the Economy Minister and Senedd Member, Vaughan Gething, to SO Modular’s new state-of-the-art, off-site manufacturing facility, located at the ‘Old Metal Box’ factory in Neath.

Mr Gething was given a guided tour around the new facility, ahead of its grand opening later in the year. During his visit, we showed him our latest investment in new equipment and explained our plans for the site – where we will be producing our sustainable, innovative, modular wood panel systems and roof trusses for use in the wider construction industry.

The regeneration of the ‘Old Metal Box’ factory into our new facility has been made possible due to a substantial £900,000 Property Business Development Gran through the European Regional Development Fundt.In addition, loan funding support worth over £2.85 million, provided through the Welsh Government’s Innovative Housing Programme (IHP) to Tai Tarian Housing Association, has facilitated further investment in plant and machinery to increase our capacity.
