A building materials company has relocated to a new home in north Birmingham.

Kingspan has moved from Digbeth to Fort Dunlop in Castle Bromwich after agreeing a ten-year lease for 8,991 sq ft on the former tyre factory's top floor.

The company produces high-performance insulation and building envelopes and its products have been used in Singapore's Changi Airport, Dundee's new V&A museum and the Squibb Building in New York among others.

The Irish firm will base its º£½ÇÊÓÆµ commercial, technical and 3D design team at the Birmingham office where 62 employees are on site.

Birmingham-based Estilo Interiors was appointed to design and fit-out the workspace.

Head of business development Lucy Hansell said: "We were tasked with completing the project within four weeks in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic.

"We adapted our original plans to accommodate social distancing requirements but with an eye on future-proofing the layout so it could be changed again as current guidelines relax."

Property consultancies CBRE and Avison Young acted for Kingspan and landlord Tristan Capital Partners respectively.
