A spokesman for Marshall Land Systems said: “We can confirm that Marshall Land Systems has announced a proposal to relocate its UK production facility to Merthyr Tydfil in South Wales, with a phased transition beginning in summer 2026.”

It added manufacturing in Cambridge would continue to run in parallel with the new site until December.

Marshall Land Systems said it had actively sought suitable, cost-effective premises within the local area “but had been unable to find an option” to “allow the business to continue operating in an efficient and financially sustainable way”.

It added the move to South Wales would “significantly reduce operating costs, including rent and business rates”, which would make the business more sustainable for the future.

“We recognise this will be a difficult time for those affected, and we are committed to supporting our people throughout the consultation process and beyond.

“We do not expect any impact on customers or service levels during this period,” the business said.
