Officially opened in early June, the new, purpose-designed space had been under construction since November 2023. 

Featuring increased warehousing and storage capacity and upgraded manufacturing capabilities, the site will help Escada pursue growth across the UK corrugated market, as well as bolstering ePS’ ability to target new business in EMEA and APAC regions.

Escada specialises in quality control and process management for corrugators, claiming a typical reduction of 0.5% in corrugator waste, and an average increase in run speed of up to 25%.

Craig Tait, managing director of ePS Escada, said: “This new office represents our commitment to growth, collaboration, and providing exceptional customer service. 

“We have incorporated energy-efficient solutions throughout the building to minimize our environmental impact, reflecting our broader focus on sustainability. As we embark on this new chapter, we look forward to strengthening connections with our customers and delivering innovative solutions with enhanced resources at our disposal.”

The new facility’s expanded manufacturing capabilities allow it to bring more hardware in-house, including Escada’s Direct Machine Interface (DMI) units, which work with Escada’s Auto-Count 4D plant floor data collection software as part of the company’s control system for corrugated manufacturing.

The new plant has been fitted with energy efficiency in mind, with LED lights fitted with motion sensors, energy-efficient boilers and space heating, and modern insulation with triple-glazed windows.
