Constant Group, an Oldham-based manufacturing and technology business, has announced a £3 million investment to expand its operations and triple its production capacity. The investment, spread across new equipment, buildings, and infrastructure, marks a significant commitment to the local economy.

The expansion includes the purchase and refurbishment of an adjacent unit at the company’s headquarters in Oldham, alongside two high precision machines. This will enable Constant Group to enhance its end-to-end capabilities, from design and prototyping to manufacture and delivery, allowing it to undertake more complex and higher-value projects.

The investment is driven by a strong trading period, with the business reporting a 37% increase in revenue in the first quarter of the year. This growth is fueled by rising demand from sectors such as telecoms, data centres, and critical infrastructure, where Constant Group provides innovative solutions.

Matt Garlick, co-managing director at Constant Group, said: “Following an exceptionally strong start to the year, this investment represents a natural next step for the business as we scale. We are seeing increasing demand for the type of innovative, practical solutions we deliver, particularly within telecoms and critical infrastructure. By investing significantly in our facilities and capabilities, we are positioning ourselves to meet that demand at scale.”

Garlick added: “Tripling our capacity is a major milestone, but it’s also about much more than volume. It allows us to continue evolving as a high-value engineering partner solving complex challenges and supporting some of the UK’s most important infrastructure programmes.”

For Oldham, the investment reinforces Constant Group’s commitment to the town. The company plans to create new jobs and invest in skills development, strengthening its reputation as a leading regional employer in advanced manufacturing. This aligns with the local focus on economic growth and industrial innovation.

The £3 million programme is part of Constant Group’s wider growth strategy, which focuses on sustained year-on-year expansion and building long-term value through innovation, operational capability, and strategic partnerships. The expansion not only boosts the company’s capacity but also supports its ambition to remain a key player in the manufacturing sector.
