Work officially has begun on the new 25,500-square-foot bespoke facility being built for Haldex, at MIRA Technology Park in Hinckley, England.

The Technical Centre, expected to open during the final quarter of 2014 will create a European research and development base for Haldex’ global product offerings, and will include laboratory facilities as well as providing Haldex engineers direct access to MIRA’s own test facilities and engineering expertise.

Bo Annvik, President and CEO at Haldex, said: “Our new UK R&D Centre will reflect our dedication in creating innovative solutions with the highest safety standards. MIRA’s test track is one of the most used test tracks within Haldex today. With the new building in place engineering and testing will be co-located which will result in shorter development cycles and improved customer responsiveness. We are thrilled that the construction now has started.”

George Gillespie, CEO at MIRA Ltd, said: “Haldex is a great addition to the fast developing technology cluster within the Technology Park, and we are delighted that several of the high tech jobs required at the site - which include design and software engineers - have already been filled.
