The 82,000sq ft industrial complex at St Andrew’s Road, Turnbridge, will be our new home – and will enable us to expand our product offering to our customers and in time increase our workforce as it builds up additional manufacturing lines.
The 27-week construction programme will involve digging out the remaining foundations of the terraced housing that used to occupy the site many years ago before sinking pilings and erecting the steel framework of the building.
Brick-and-block construction will be carried out before the installation of distinctive black cladding. At the height of construction, about 40 to 50 people will be working on site.
We have been seeking larger premises since 2010, and we will be moving from the leased premises where we have been manufacturing for the past 23 years to a purpose-built state-of-the-art site. If we had not found this site we would have had to move from Huddersfield, so this is ideal for keeping our local workforce.
Completion of the build will be June 2017, the complex will include new offices, a staff canteen, shower rooms, research and development facilities, engineering facilities, a planning department, storehouse and three large manufacturing units. However employees would switch from Silver Street to St Andrew’s Road in phases over a period of at least three months – as sections of the new building became available.
Over the past two years we have increased our exporting performance for our GRAFT and Protecta products from 25% of total production to 75% with markets in Australia and New Zealand, the Middle East, the far East and Eastern Europe. Although we would like to increase our presence in the United Kingdom, we expect further growth from export.
Look out for great things from us in the very near future, www.polyseam.com.
