The UK’s largest independent sealant manufacturer is investing £2 million in a new warehouse at its site in Beverley, in a move that will support the company’s continued growth and investment in the town.
Hodgson Sealants, which has been manufacturing sealants and adhesives in East Yorkshire for almost 60 years, has already begun construction on the new warehouse in Belprin Road.
The warehouse will stand 16m high and provide just under 1,200m² of space, complete with a 32m x 14m canopy for undercover loading and unloading.
It is being constructed to the rear of the company’s existing site by contractor Houlton, with the project on track for completion in January 2027 having started in the summer.
It will bring the company’s raw material and finished goods storage together in one place, improving stock accuracy and increasing efficiency for customers. Just as significantly for the local area, the move will also free up space within the company’s existing site for further manufacturing investment, continuing its long-term commitment to producing goods locally in Beverley.
The new facility has also been designed with sustainability in mind, with energy-efficient lighting and solar panels intended to make the building self-sufficient and reduce its demand on the National Grid.
Danielle Houghton, Managing Director of Hodgson Sealants, said: “This investment reflects our confidence in the future of the business and our commitment to UK manufacturing.
“Bringing together all our storage onto one site will make us more efficient as a business, and just as importantly, it clears the way for us to expand our manufacturing capacity.
“We’ve been growing for almost 60 years, and this is the next step in that journey.”
