A former Congleton factory has hit the market following its closure.

The site once home to Airbags International has been listed for sale.

It comes after the manufacturing facility on Viking Way was shut down at the end of September, a move that impacted around 250 members of staff.

A spokesperson for Autoliv, Airbags International's parent company, said at the time: "In response to evolving market conditions, Autoliv has made the difficult decision to close its manufacturing textile weaving facility for curtain airbags in Congleton, UK.

"This action is part of a broader strategy to optimize our geographic footprint and align our operations with long-term business needs."
