Established in 1916, Huddersfield Manufacturing Centre employs more than 400 skilled people, dedicated to professional manufacturing. We make important crop protection products that help growers meet an ever increasing demand for food, feed and fuel. Our talented and dedicated workforce make this possible. Safety, manufacturing excellence and skilled people are at the heart of the site's ambition and we are committed to our award winning Advanced Apprenticeship programme, having recruited new apprentices every year since 2009.
Several of Syngenta’s important products are manufactured at Huddersfield for export worldwide and research by the University of Huddersfield has reported that our operations contribute £57M to the local economy through employment and trade. The site and its employees are also active in the local community through their Employees Community Gift scheme, which is match funded by Syngenta. Benefactors include Kirkwood Hospice, The Welcome Centre Food Bank and The Lawrence Batley Theatre, as well as grass roots community groups across the district.
