Recently completed scheme designed and overseen by BASE helps international packaging firm makes significant relocation within East Cambs
Food packaging company Faerch Plast (formerly Anson Packaging) recently opened the doors of its impressive new UK headquarters and design facility on Lancaster Way Business Park in Ely.
Hosted by the company’s Managing Director, the MP for South East Cambridgeshire, Lucy Frazer, joined East Cambridgeshire District Council’s economic development officers for a behind the scenes look at their new advanced research and design facilities.
Faerch Plast specialise in packaging for the food industry. This recent HQ investment comes on top of significant expansion of its high volume manufacturing facilities in Sutton near Ely during 2016. The company produces plastic packaging for fresh meat, ready meals and ‘food to go’. The firm has an ‘A- list’ client base linked to the supermarket sector and has been a leading force in the food supply chain since 1969.
Managing Director Andrew Osborne-Smith said “Following the successful opening of our new Design Innovation Hub at Lancaster Way Business Park, Ely, on Friday 13th October, we welcomed South East Cambs Member of Parliament, Lucy Frazer to our facility. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our continued investment into the region and we valued the opportunity of discussing our current position and future developments. We were very grateful that Lucy Frazer was able to visit.”
The opening of the new facilities draws existing employees from within the region and creates new skilled job opportunities driven by the company’s impressive growth ambitions.
This scheme comprised of a refurbishment and part change of use of an existing industrial unit to form new design offices and showroom areas with an attached prototyping and light manufacture area of an existing and established food packaging company
At BASE we produced the design concept, developed it, obtained all approvals, obtained budget costs and cost forecasts and oversaw the works on site acting as client’s main design agent and principle consultant to deliver the works on a tight budget and restrictive time period
