A printing company has taken a five acre site for a new design and build premises at the i54 business park in the Black Country Enterprise Zone.

ISP (International Security Printers) intends to relocate its workforce of 80 from Midland Road in Walsall to the new building on the boundary of South Staffordshire and Wolverhampton once it is finished next year.

Work at i54 will begin later this month. The 220 acre business park is also the location for Jaguar Land Rover’s new engine facility, aerospace company MOOG and laboratory firm Eurofins.

ISP is constructing a 70,000 sq ft printing facility, and at a later stage intends to expand the premises by 30,000 sq ft to meet increased demand.

Christian Smith, director of industrial agency at GBR Phoenix Beard, was appointed by ISP to identify and secure new premises.

He said: “It became clear that a greenfield option would be a better long term fit for the company’s real estate requirements. There is immense pressure on the industrial property market in the Midlands, driven largely by a revival in the fortunes of the manufacturing sector in the region.

“With fewer high quality existing units available, we anticipate a marked increase in companies looking to build bespoke premises on both greenfield and brownfield sites.”
