Glencar has today announced that it has been awarded the contract for the construction of a new manufacturing, storage, and production facility for Metalor UK Ltd. The project, located on Bristol Road South in Longbridge, Birmingham, will support the company’s expansion and enhance its research and development capabilities within the UK.

The development is designed to meet the highest standards of durability and efficiency. Constructed using a traditional industrial approach, the facility will feature a steel-braced frame with external composite cladding, ensuring both strength and longevity.

The single-storey portal frame building will house first-floor offices and laboratory spaces at the front, completed to a Cat A fit-out standard, while the rear will accommodate a secure manufacturing, storage, and logistics area. The site will also include dedicated car parking, a delivery yard, and landscaped areas to create a high-quality working environment. All necessary enabling and external works will be completed to ensure smooth operations from day one.

This purpose-built facility represents a significant investment in the UK’s advanced manufacturing sector and reinforces Glencar’s ever-growing portfolio in the industrial and manufacturing space.

Metalor UK Ltd is a global leader in precious metals processing, supplying specialist products across industries such as jewellery, research and development, and niche manufacturing. The company’s relocation to Longbridge aligns with its strategic growth and sustainability goals.
