A leading central heating boiler manufacturer has moved its UK distribution and sales centre to the Black Country as part of an expansion to meet growing orders.
Intergas Heating, which makes high efficiency boilers for the domestic market at its factory in the Netherlands, has taken a 12,283 sq ft unit at the Pensnett Estate, Kingswinford, which is owned and managed by London and Cambridge Properties Ltd (LCP).
The new base at the landmark Vantage Point development on the Pensnett Estate is three times bigger than its former centre in Bromsgrove which it opened four years ago.
Sales director Paul Lee said: “We have grown organically, from three people last year to fourteen and still growing, so we needed bigger premises. It is a significant investment by our parent company Intergas Verwarming which is the number one high efficiency boiler manufacturer in the Netherlands.
“We chose Pensnett because it had the accommodation we needed and because of its central location and accessibility to the road and motorway network. We distribute across the UK to plumbing and heating groups such as Plumbase, plus many independent plumbing and heating outlets. In addition to our sales office and warehouse here, we also have a training centre where installers can learn about our boilers.
“We have some exciting innovative products coming to market. Our products are known for their reliability as they are designed to take out the problematic components associated with some boilers.”
The letting to Intergas Heating means just 20,000 of the 180,000 sq ft Vantage Point development is available to let. The property also has the flexibility to be split to offer two 10,000 sq ft units.
The Pensnett Estate in general has accommodation available to let ranging from offices of 141 sq ft to warehouse and production units of up to 36,525 sq. ft. Owner LCP is based there and is one of the UK’s largest private owners of industrial and retail property. Its total commercial property portfolio in excess of 14 million sq ft is held for long term investment purposes.
