Welsh Conservative AMs Alun Cairns, Andrew RT Davies and David Melding today held talks with senior executives from Bosch at their German HQ over the future of the firm’s car components plant at Miskin near Cardiff.
Industry spokesman Alun Cairns AM said: “It was a constructive meeting and the Bosch directors welcomed our involvement.
“They were also grateful for our insight into local community concerns highlighted over the future of the site.”
South Wales Central AM Andrew RT Davies said: “We were pleased with Bosch’s commitment to establish a working group on managing the impact of closure.
“During our meeting we also emphasised the need for full community involvement, including the Vale and local community councils and all political parties.”
Shadow Minister for the Economy David Melding AM said: “I welcome the chance to meet senior Bosch executives to discuss not only the fate of hundreds of workers at the plant, but also the impact its closure will have on the surrounding community.
“It is regrettable, however, that the Assembly Government couldn’t develop a feasible model for Bosch’s new generation of applications, such as wind energy components.”
