the project and its support

What was the reasons to Usleep’s growth?

Usleep already had 2 sites in the UK in Ashton Under Lyne and Castle Donington. Following the Brexit, the company was finding it more difficult to access the EU, while demand from their European customers was increasing. For this reason, Usleep needed a location solution to get closer to its markets.

Choosing Hauts-de-France for Usleep’s expansion project

For two months, they analyzed different possibilities in the region. Their final choice was Dourges.

The Hauts-de-France region combined :

#1 A strategic location

#2 An available, skilled workforce

#3 A large ecosystem of subcontractors (notably the foam manufacturers essential to mattress production)

#4 Access to the “Made in France” label, recognized throughout Europe.
