One of Wales' biggest industrial sites is up for sale

The Schaeffler manufacturing facility in Llanelli has been put up for sale.

In June the German-owned automotive components firm announced the closure of the plant, with 200 jobs losses, in a decision to relocate production to other plants in the US, China, South Korea and Germany.

It will vacate the site in November.

Schaeffler, has appointed Cushman & Wakefield as sole agent to dispose the freehold of the 235,900 sq ft building which is part of a 17.47 acre site.

The premises comprise a purpose-built manufacturing facility constructed in two phases - the original manufacturing facility and main office/administration block with a second warehouse area currently used for manufacturing, warehouse and dispatch.

In addition to the main facility there are also several ancillary buildings including a security gatehouse, chemical stores and a separate detached warehouse/ store.

The plant is located adjacent to the A484 on one of the main arterial routes between Swansea and Llanelli.

Chris Yates from Cushman & Wakefield’s logistics and industrial team, said: “This presents a rare opportunity to acquire the freehold interest in a major manufacturing facility in south Wales.

"The premises have been well maintained by Schaeffler during their occupation and benefit from a good degree of expansion land to the immediate north of the building, together with an access road circumnavigating the main facility with multiple access/loading points.

“With the strong road links to the M4 motorway at Junctions 47 and 48, the property lends itself to a range of industrial, manufacturing and warehousing requirements. Alternatively, there is potential scope for alternative uses, subject to planning.”
