Liniar has announced plans that will double the size of its single-site, purpose-built headquarters in Derbyshire with the addition of 350,000sqft manufacturing facility and warehouse.
Group MD Martin Thurley says work has already begun on the new unit, which is expected to be completed byQ1 2025, giving the company more than 800,000sqft in total.
“Our philosophy has always been to maintain sufficient capacity headroom to allow us to grow as quickly as our customers grow,” he said, “so even though we still have plenty of space and capacity today, we’re already planning for the next phase of exciting multi-year growth plans.
“The new warehouse facility will incorporate state-of-the-art, semi-automated storage, picking and loading solutions. Not only will this provide efficiency benefits, it will create an even safer working environment by significantly reducing manual handling and eliminating pedestrian and FLT interaction.
He added: “Liniar is also implementing a Solar PV strategy this year which will see solar panels installed on all existing and new buildings. We’ve made fantastic progress over recent years in significantly reducing our CO2 emissions by over 70%; this £multi-million investment will further accelerate our plans to be carbon neutral by 2025.”
These site expansion plans follow on the back of Liniar’s most recent site development project, the addition of £3million mixing plant which opened in March this year.
