Nissan parts supplier Unipress has seen a significant hike in profits amid demand created by the car maker's e-Power Qashqai model, and has lined up future work with Jaguar Land Rover.

Turnover at the Washington-based supplier of press-formed parts saw operating profits rise to £8.99m in 2023, compared with £2.79m the year before. That came amid a more modest increase in turnover from £173.9m to £177.5m.

New accounts show staff numbers at the Japanese-owned business increased from 853 to 913 during a year in which it was successfully chosen to supply parts for Nissan's next generation electric vehicle. The documents, signed off at the end of May, show Unipres was also vying for business on the next generation Juke and Qashqai models which will also emerge from the Sunderland factory.
