Spanish rolling stock manufacturer CAF will open a train production plant in South Wales next year, the company has announced. Around 300 jobs will be created at the site near Newport when it opens in the autumn. Previously, the company has supplied rolling stock to UK companies the likes of Midland Metro and Edinburgh Trams from its factories in Spain. The new £30 million facility will be more than 46,000 square metres in size and is being designed so that CAF can build diesel multiple units, electric multiple units, trams and high-speed trains.
