Guala Closures Manufacturing Facility

This state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is a predominantly a single storey building with a low pitched roof and feature office wrapped around the north-east corner. The building facade is clad in insulated metal panels, with feature windows and design details to create a distinctive architectural aesthetic. It represents one of the most significant manufacturing facility projects in Scotland and will attract significant investment to the area. 

In designing the building, Guala Closures UK and the project design team have been committed to ensuring that carbon emissions are minimised during the construction process and while the building is in use. As such, modern and energy efficient building materials will be used alongside renewable energy sources to ensure that sustainability and green technologies are included in the design. An extensive solar panel installation is to be undertaken on the roof to heavily offset carbon emissions. 

The internal manufacturing space is largely open plan with spaces designated to each process. Each space is maximized to ensure increased efficiency for the end user’s fabrication needs. Specialist M&E services are also incorporated into an innovative design to supply the various machinery. 

At present, the manufacturing floor has been handed over to the client with wrap-around Office space to shortly be completed in Spring 2025.
