A specialist copper distributor and manufacturer is relocating to a new home in the West Midlands.
Metelec has agreed a 25-year lease on a 47,973 sq ft warehouse, speculatively developed by Barberry on a 3.5-acre site at the Wolf Pack development at Hilton Cross Business Park, Wolverhampton. It will be relocating from its base at Vulcan Industrial Estate, in Bloxwich.
The company's new headquarters, which also has 64 car parking spaces, is being built by Benniman Construction which has reached practical completion of the unit.
Metelec is a specialist distributor and manufacturer of copper bars and components.
It is the UK logistics arm of French company Gindre Duchavany, one of the largest manufacturers of copper extruded bars in Europe.
Metelec's managing director Kevin Draper said: "This is an exciting time in our development. The new state-of-the-art distribution centre and headquarters reflect our commitment to solid, sustainable growth.
"The brand-new facility is perfectly located for us to service the whole of the UK with immediate access to the UK motorway network.
"Sustainability is key to our growth as we eye market and business opportunities in wide-scale electrification and the transition towards green energy solutions."
The Wolf Pack development comprises three warehouses on land acquired by Barberry from South Staffordshire Council.
One of the warehouses was recently let to Fablink Group, a UK-based manufacturer of metal pressings, assemblies and fuel and hydraulic tanks.
Barberry's development director Jon Robinson said: "Metelec forms the second letting on our successful speculative development at Wolf Pack.
"Metelec is a West Midlands success story and we are very pleased to have them as another quality Barberry customer.
"These are exciting times for Metelec as they embark on their business expansion and we wish them enormous success at the new headquarters."
The joint letting agencies were Harris Lamb, Bulleys and JLL.
