Melett celebrates 30th anniversary with new core assembly production facility at European hub in Poland

Melett, celebrating its 30th anniversary, has officially announced the addition of a new turbocharger core assembly production facility to its existing distribution centre in Bydgoszcz, Poland. The facility, which became operational at the end of last year, strengthens Melett’s European capability and creates a centralised hub to serve customers across the European Union.

The additional footprint strengthens Melett’s European capability and creates a centralised hub to serve customers across the European Union.

The facility has been producing a range of Melett’s core assemblies (CHRAs) since late last year, complementing the site’s existing distribution operations. The operation has the capacity to scale up production to meet the growing demand for the company’s high-quality turbocharger components throughout Europe.

“The establishment of our new core production facility at our Bydgoszcz distribution centre is a strategic move that strengthens Melett’s presence in Europe,” said Chris Wallhead, managing director of Melett.

“By co-locating production and distribution, we can better serve our European customers with increased agility, efficiency and responsiveness. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, Bydgoszcz is now the centrepiece of our European operations, positioning us for continued growth in this important market.”

The Bydgoszcz hub will play a vital role in the Melett’s global supply chain, working in conjunction with the company’s existing core assembly and turbocharger production operation in Barnsley, UK, its component plant in Changzhou, China, and its distribution centre in Memphis, USA.

These facilities will closely coordinate with the Bydgoszcz operation to ensure a steady, reliable flow of high-quality turbochargers, core assemblies and components to customers across European and international markets.

“The establishment of the new production facility at the Bydgoszcz hub is a testament to Melett’s continued investment in Europe and its commitment to serving the evolving needs of its customers,” said Wojciech Klimek, general manager of Melett Poland. “This facility will enable the company to better support both our local and European client base and meet the industry’s demand for quality turbocharger repair solutions, supporting the next 30 years of Melett’s growth and innovation in the turbocharger industry.”
