ACCESS EQUIPMENT manufacturer, WernerCo, is increasing manufacturing of extension ladders at its UK facility in Maldon, Essex.

The company is forecasting the production of thousands of extra units annually, and this will see additional jobs created.

This is just the first phase of new ladder production and we are looking at bringing additional ladder manufacturing to the UK to take advantage of these skills.
