Global manufacturer selects Yorkshire for UK headquarters

TCY UK, the UK arm of Taiwan-based TCY, has acquired a modern warehouse in Sherburn in Elmet.

The firm bought 15,997 sq ft Mayfair House on Lancaster Business Park on a freehold basis.

TCY UK’s managing director, Rob Garvey, said: “By directly establishing a presence in the UK, TCY will be able to build on our UK customer base, as well as offering immediate access to a large parts inventory, and also gain a foothold in parts of Europe and North America too.

“Our firm has been producing specialist corrugated packaging machinery for over 60 years and we’re delighted to be able to bring that expertise, know-how and, most importantly, direct support to our clients from here in the UK.”

Harry Fullerton, from Gent Visick’s agency division, who advised on the deal, said: “Mayfair House presented a rare opportunity for an owner occupier to buy a modern, purpose-built warehouse. With a large yard and parking area, the whole site spans almost an acre and was ready to move into straight away.

“We successfully negotiated a substantially reduced price for TCY that the firm was delighted with.”

He added: “Located towards the rear of the industrial estate, the unit TCY bought sits within an enclosed yard and is made of a single bay steel portal frame with metal clad elevations and partially glazed two-storey offices.

“The whole site is also very secure with steel fencing and CCTV, which added to its appeal.”
