Caddick has been appointed to construct a new manufacturing facility for Schneider Electric in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, UK. 

The £42m ($54.96m) investment by Schneider Electric will see the creation of a plant that aims to achieve net zero in scope 1 and 2 emissions, with an opening in early 2025. 

Schneider Electric will serve as the anchor tenant of the facility, relocating from its existing site just 500m away.  

Caddick's specialist division, CCL Facades, is also tasked with delivering the curtain walling for the site. 

The new facility, nearly three times larger than Schneider Electric's current Scarborough site, is designed to be a model of sustainable design and operations.  

It is targeting a Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method (BREEAM) Excellent rating. 

The project will include a solar energy system expected to produce 30% of the facility's energy needs, with half of the roof area covered with solar panels to optimise solar energy utilisation. 

Caddick group managing director Paul Dodsworth said: “Schneider’s investment in North Yorkshire is a huge show of confidence for the region, and as a Yorkshire business ourselves we’re very proud to be delivering such an important manufacturing facility both in terms of its impact on the local economy and the move towards net zero. 

“Our commitment is to building developments that enable our clients to have a global competitive edge, now and in the future, and we look forward to playing our part in the growth of sustainable manufacturing here in the UK.” 

This comes after Caddick's reappointment to the Innovation Chain North (ICN) Framework in June this year. 

The ICN Framework, led by Great Places Housing Group, represents a £1.5bn investment and will remain valid until June 2028.
