We are pleased to have worked with Caddick Developments to design the new £42m advanced manufacturing facility for Schneider Electric at Scarborough Business Park.
The 178,000 sq. ft. unit will help the digital automation and energy management business meet the increased demands for its equipment and will create 200 jobs.
The development will almost triple the size of Schneider Electric’s existing facility in the town and will provide a blueprint for sustainable design and operations in manufacturing, with it expected to be net zero in Scope 1 and 2 emissions when it opens in 2025.
Oliver Clark, Design Director said: “We’re pleased to be working with Caddick Developments to create Schneider Electric’s new manufacturing facility in North Yorkshire, which will not only create jobs, but support the economic growth of the region and play a leading role in the UK’s green agenda.”
Kelly Becker, President at Schneider Electric UK & Ireland, Belgium and Netherlands, said: ” We’re proud to be investing in and developing innovative solutions which will deliver immediate and lasting decarbonisation in the UK, whilst bolstering the creation of local, green jobs in Yorkshire.
“The region has long been part of our operational presence in the UK, and we’re excited to expand this as part of our commitment to investing in the UK’s green economy. The new facility in Scarborough represents a pillar of innovation in net-zero, and one which will be an industry benchmark for the transition to sustainable, energy efficient buildings.”
Alistair Smith, Associate Director at Caddick Developments, added: “As a long-standing Yorkshire business with sustainability at its heart, we are delighted with Schneider Electric’s commitment to Scarborough Business Park which further bolsters our strong track record of delivering industrial projects throughout the UK, as we seek to build developments that support people, community and planet.
The news of Schneider Electric’s commitment to Scarborough was also welcomed by the Mayor of York and North Yorkshire, David Skaith, who said: “This new manufacturing facility will drive new, quality jobs in Scarborough and help us go beyond net-zero to become England’s first carbon negative region. Leaders like Schneider attract other manufacturers and we welcome investment as we look to become a production and advanced engineering hub of excellence.”
