A major supplier of printed flexible packaging films and solutions to the food, pet food and medical industries is set to move into brand new premises at Dove Valley Park when work completes on the latest phase of the 200-acre development in January 2024.
Terinex Flexibles, an OGM Holdings Group company, has signed up to take 46,000 sq ft at the industrial and logistics development in Foston, joining the likes of Top Hat, JCB, Müller, Futaba Ltd and GXO in South Derbyshire.
The £8m premises will include production, warehousing and research and development facilities which Terinex will harness to create “the most sustainable and flexible packaging factory in the UK.”
The move will enable the firm to more than double its current production capacity.
The scheme is being delivered by Dove Valley Park Ltd, a subsidiary of Clowes Developments; Leicestershire-based IMA Architects; CDS Engineers and employers’ agent Savills.
Marc Freeman, director at Clowes Developments, said: “Dove Valley Park is a fantastic location for logistical enterprises, benefiting from easy access to the A50. The site continues to grow in popularity with occupiers, creating valuable employment opportunities in South Derbyshire. We are looking forward to delivering the new site for Terinex Flexibles. Clowes Developments is currently constructing a further 270,000 sq ft across the site which will enhance the existing offering for perspective occupants.”
Jack Mellor, associate at IMA Architects, said: “This is our latest project with Clowes at Dove Valley Park, and we are proud to be playing our part in creating a thriving business location. Being involved in the site, from the planning stage to completion, means we are able to create premises bespoke to the needs of the end user, something that was important to Terinex Flexibles.”
Paul Wightman, group managing director of the OGM Group, said: “Our new location for Terinex Flexibles will facilitate the further growth of our business and we are looking forward to adding to our team in South Derbyshire. The new site will be more than double the size of our current factory and will accommodate new equipment, our expanding team and increased R&D capabilities to benefit our food, petfood and medical packaging customers.”
Wightman added: “Reducing the environmental impact of industry in the UK is both a moral obligation and a business necessity. We aim to build the UK’s best flexible packaging factory with the lowest environmental footprint producing very high quality products. We can’t wait to move in next year.”
