Packaging company wraps up 10-year deal for Carrington Gateway

Food and drinks packaging supplier, Max Fame Paper Products, has agreed a new 10-year lease on a 21,500 sq ft logistics building at Carrington Gateway, Greater Manchester.

The firm, which manufactures packaging for UK brands including HHG, Marks & Spencer, and Harrods, also has clients based in Europe, America and the Asia Pacific region.

The firm wanted a centrally located base to nearshore its services for UK clients and David Hsieh, president of Max Fame, said: “We are pleased to be taking on this new lease which is located close to Manchester and the UK motorway networks, meaning we can more quickly and cost effectively get our product to clients.”

Carrington Gateway consists of six modern industrial units which, in total, offer 211,000 sq ft of space.

Three of the units, totalling 167,000 sq ft, were recently purchased by Cabot Properties, while the other three, offering a total of 44,000 sq ft of space, have been retained by Wain Estates.

Two units comprising a total of 21,000 sq ft remain available.

Wain Estates property director, Paul Wrigglesworth, said: “Attracting firms with a global reach like Max Fame is great news for employment in the area and is another example of Carrington boosting the local and regional economy.

“We continue to see strong demand for space as companies review operations and look for the best way to serve their own customers from strategic bases like the Carrington Gateway.”

JLL acted for Wain Estates while Max Fame was represented by Colliers.

Nathan Khanverdi, associate director in the industrial and logistics team at Colliers, said: “We’re pleased to have assisted Max Fame to find their new UK base which will bring efficiencies to their business model.”
