Following successful launches of new models including the conneX range, the Sheffield based company has broken ground on an extension to its current site to enable greater manufacturing capacity and warehousing space.
The factory extension commenced on 17th March 2025, with building starting in May and the project due to be completed by December 2025.
Colin Lacey, Merrychef managing director, said: “The last few years has seen incredible growth for Merrychef, in part due to the launch of our innovative conneX range of high speed ovens. The new factory extension adds 42,700 sq. ft and will increase production capacity, double our warehousing space, and allow us to meet growing demand in both the UK and international markets.
“Sheffield is the home of Merrychef and our main manufacturing centre; the site expansion will eventually create up to 80 new positions, and we are delighted to be able to further support the local Sheffield economy.”
