 About Nissan Manufacturing UK (NMUK) in Sunderland

The NMUK plant was opened in 1986 and became the sole supplier of the Nissan Bluebird to the UK market.  Ongoing development has brought the plant to today’s impressive employment figure of circa 6,700 direct staff and production of over 7 million vehicles.  The plant currently produces the Juke, Note and Qashqai models as well as being the European manufacturing location for the Electric Vehicle, the Nissan Leaf.

Head of The Journal’s Top 200 North East companies 2014 for the fourth year running, this is an excellent opportunity to visit one of the North East’s biggest employers.

The visit at its plant just off the A19 on Washington Road, Sunderland, will comprise a mini plant tour followed by a question and answer session.  The event should last approximately two and half hours.

Cost

The visit is free of charge but, due to the nature of the business, numbers are strictly limited and bookings will therefore be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
