Leicestershire-based Winbro Group Technologies plans to expand into new premises and take on new employees as the company continues to win new orders for its specialist laser cutting and drilling machines.
Winbro equipment is used by Rolls-Royce and gas turbine makers to create precision cooling holes in turbine blades.
The orders are worth £5.5m, won from customers in the USA and Europe. Winbro turnover is expected to increase by 50 per cent to £18 m this year, with the creation of 24 jobs taking total employment to 139.
The company is seeking a new site to consolidate its current operations in four separate buildings in Coalville.
