Supply chain performance company Unipart has announced its new facility at Trax Park in Doncaster, which was officially opened by Rail Minister, Lord Peter Hendy on 17 October.

The opening event showcased Unipart’s advanced capabilities, including demonstrations of UK-based manufacturing, digital signalling solutions, and predictive maintenance technology.

Unipart hopes the new facility will strengthen the UK’s domestic supply chain and support the UK rail industry by providing a hub to build a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable railway for the future.

Rail Minister, Lord Peter Hendy, said: “It was an honour to officially open this new Doncaster site, which represents a major milestone and investment by Unipart in our rail supply chain.

“This Government is supporting the supply chain through our forthcoming rolling stock and infrastructure strategy, and private investment like today's is crucial to the British rail industry and the local economy of places like Doncaster.

Darren Leigh, Unipart Chief Executive Officer, added: “I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Lord Hendy for joining us today and officially opening Trax Park.

“This facility is more than just a building; it's a testament to our long-term commitment to our customers and to British industry.”
