East Antrim Ulster Unionist Assemblyman Roy Beggs has contacted Schrader, requesting a meeting about potential plans to transfer some production lines from sites in Carrickfergus and Antrim to Changzhou, China.
Mr Beggs said “I have been contacted by concerned constituents who have been advised by Unite the Union that Sensata, who purchased Schrader in 2014, are considering moving some production lines from their Carrickfergus and Antrim production facilities to their Changzhou plant in China. I have contacted Schrader seeking a meeting to be updated on local job prospects and the future plans of this important company to the Carrickfergus area.”
