Orangebox furniture firm creates 75 new jobs at Nantgarw

The new HQ covers 120,000 sq ft on the Parc Nantgarw site

An office furniture business is creating 75 jobs with the opening of a new headquarters and factory in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

The expansion at Orangebox in Nantgarw, includes a new design centre and will take its total south Wales workforce to 250.

The firm, which also has bases in Hengoed and Huddersfield, was created in 1998 from a management buy-out.

It exports to countries across Europe, North America, Africa and the Far East.

First Minister Carwyn Jones, who will open the new building on Wednesday, said firms such as Orangebox were a good example of how goods made in Wales can sell globally.
