Wain Estates wraps up deal at Carrington Gateway
Food and drinks packaging supplier Max Fame Paper Products has agreed a ten-year lease on a 21,500 sq ft logistics building at the Trafford development.
The firm, which manufactures packaging for UK brands including HHG, Marks & Spencer and Harrods, also has clients based in Europe, the US and Asia-Pacific.
Max Fame wanted a centrally located base in order to nearshore their services for UK clients, said David Hsieh, president: “We are pleased to be taking on this new lease which is located close to Manchester and the UK motorway networks, meaning we can more quickly and cost effectively get our product to clients.”
Carrington Gateway comprises six modern industrial units which in total offer 211,000 sq ft. Three of the units totalling 167,000 sq ft were purchased in April by Cabot Properties while the other three, offering a total of 44,000 sq ft of space, have been retained by Wain Estates.
Two units comprising a total of 21,000 sq ft remain available. The scheme sits within the 1,600-acre Carrington masterplan, a long-term redevelopment of a former Shell site.
Wain Estates property director Paul Wrigglesworth said: “Attracting firms with a global reach like Max Fame is great news for employment in the area and is another example of Carrington boosting the local and regional economy.
“We continue to see strong demand for space as companies review operations and look for the best way to serve their own customers from strategic bases like the Carrington Gateway.”
