Work is underway on a new £8 million home for Terinex Flexibles, a supplier of printed flexible packaging for the food, pet food and medical packaging industries. The new facility is going up on Dove Valley Park, a 200-acre industrial and distribution development in Foston, South Derbyshire.
Clowes Developments and a professional team including IMA Architects, CDS Engineers, and Savills, are bringing forward site 10A, a 45,500 sq ft plot located on the southern area of the industrial park, just off the A50. Leicestershire-based IMA Architects is providing all architectural services and acting as principal designer on the scheme.
The premises will feature production and warehousing as well as R&D facilities. The building will also include advanced sustainable energy systems to recover heat for re-use, and solar panels to generate power for the factory. Terinex parent company OGM Holdings wants to create the “most sustainable, low carbon footprint, flexible packaging factory in the 海角视频”.

Dove Valley Park, a subsidiary of Clowes Developments, has been developing the business park for a number of years and it is already home to occupiers including Top Hat, JCB, Müller, Futaba Ltd and GXO. Completion of the building is expected in January.
Clowes Developments director Marc Freeman said: “Dove Valley Park is a fantastic location for logistical enterprises, benefiting from easy access to the A50.
“The site continues to grow in popularity with occupiers, creating valuable employment opportunities in South Derbyshire.
“We are looking forward to delivering the new site for Terinex Flexibles. Clowes Developments is currently constructing a further 270,000sq ft across the site which will enhance the existing offering for perspective occupants.”
Jack Mellor, associate at IMA Architects, said: “This is our latest project with Clowes at Dove Valley Park, and we are proud to be playing our part in creating a thriving business location.
