Project Overview
POLYTEC numbers globally renowned automotive and commercial vehicle manufacturers among its customers, but is also increasingly supplying other markets outside of this sector.
In both the automotive and non-automotive areas, POLYTEC provides excellent value-added depth in every segment.
The company required an intelligent design for their new Telford facility that provided efficiency for their manufacturing process.
ONE’s team designed the masterplan to maximise the use of the site with a 12,620 sq m corporately branded building that included a paint plant, assembly halls and office space. The design enables the plastic parts to be efficiently delivered, pass through the complex automated paint process, through the assembly area and into the dedicated collection point which has a canopy to provide weather protection for the finished goods.
The multidisciplinary team also provided solutions for the external areas of the 28,000 sq m site which included car parking, appropriate access routes for all vehicles and drainage arrangements.
The scheme was designed so that it could be built over three phases and met the brief of enabling further expansion.
Phase One of construction was completed in January 2018 and is anticipated to create as many as 100 jobs. Paveaways was the main contractor and a time lapse video of the construction can be viewed here.
Phases two and three, which total an additional 4610 sq m, have been designed to adjoin the existing building at appropriate points for the manufacturing journey.

ONE really understood our business and our manufacturing processes. As a result, the team provided an efficient design solution that perfectly meets our needs and will allow our company to grow further on the site.
