The Car Industry in Matlock
Matlock has been home to several automotive companies over the years, with an interesting history in how it has come to be so. The origins of Matlock's car industry date back to the early 1900s, when the Lanchester Motor Company opened a factory in Matlock. The factory was used to produce cars until 1938, when it was closed due to costly repairs.
At the time of closure, the factory was taken over by the Automotive Products Group (APG), and the old Lanchester factory was merged with APG's nearby premises. The new site would become Matlock's first major car manufacturing site, with production continuing until 1999, when it was bought by the Jaguar Land Rover group. Today, Matlock is home to two major car manufacturing plants. The first is Jaguar Land Rover's flagship plant located on the former APG site. The site is currently one of Jaguar Land Rover's largest plants, and produces around 200,000 cars every year. The second is the Nissan manufacturing plant located on the former Lanchester factory site. The Nissan plant has seen a number of major new investments, and produces around 100,000 cars annually.
Matlock's car industry is further supported by the presence of numerous specialist car parts suppliers located in and around the town. This allows Matlock to produce a range of components to meet the demands of the major automotive companies located in the area.
