A new solar panel company will bring 50 jobs to Witham.
EA-RS Group, based in Swanbridge Park, Witham, has signed a joint venture deal with C-Sun, a major solar panel manufacturing company in Jiangsu, China.
The new company, named Seesun, which will have a head office based in the town, will design, manufacture, install and maintain solar panels for businesses, houses and community solar parks across the UK.
The deal, which comes as a result of work by Essex International, Essex County Council’s international trade arm, will bring 50 jobs to the head office and 100 more across the county.
Seesun has already invested £1million and created six new jobs in Essex.
Eventually they plan to open 40 Seesun centres in the UK.
