Work is underway on a new £8 million home for Terinex Flexibles, a supplier of printed flexible packaging for the food, pet food and medical packaging industries. The new facility is going up on Dove Valley Park, a 200-acre industrial and distribution development in Foston, South Derbyshire.
Clowes Developments and a professional team including IMA Architects, CDS Engineers, and Savills, are bringing forward site 10A, a 45,500 sq ft plot located on the southern area of the industrial park, just off the A50. Leicestershire-based IMA Architects is providing all architectural services and acting as principal designer on the scheme.
The premises will feature production and warehousing as well as R&D facilities. The building will also include advanced sustainable energy systems to recover heat for re-use, and solar panels to generate power for the factory. Terinex parent company OGM Holdings wants to create the “most sustainable, low carbon footprint, flexible packaging factory in the UK”.
