Stadco works with Jaguar Land Rover to secure jobs and production in the UK

Stadco, a British international Tier 1 supplier of automotive Body-in-White products and services, has secured new contracts with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) on a number of vehicles across both brands' product ranges.

Stadco is a key supplier in the UK for JLR, producing parts across the range of vehicles, including the Jaguar XF and XK, and Land Rover Defender, Freelander, Discovery, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicles.

Stadco has been successful in winning a number of contracts on both Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, including a package of large stampings to be manufactured at its Shrewsbury facility for the Range Rover model. Stadco will also undertake the stamping and assembly of an all aluminium tailgate for the Range Rover Sport at its Castle Bromwich plant.

Over 100 of the internal body pressings for the Jaguar XK are already supplied by Stadco, and in expanding its relationship with Jaguar Land Rover, the company will begin the supply of all of the XK aluminium bodywork closure assemblies from its Castle Bromwich facility.

In addition, a package of major structural stampings and assemblies for the Jaguar XF will be supplied from Stadco's Shrewsbury plant from the end of the year.

Commenting on the new business, Dermot Sterne, Stadco Managing Director said, "We are delighted in taking on additional work from Jaguar Land Rover, which will not only assist the company in its strategy of consolidating its UK supply base, but will also safeguarding jobs and production in the UK."

Whilst Stadco as a Tier 1 supplier provides parts directly to JLR, there are many more firms across the UK and the West Midlands in particular that have contracts with JLR suppliers.
