ABP lets 158,000 sq ft in Hull
Mitsubishi Chemical UK, part of the global manufacturing giant, has agreed terms with Associated British Ports for the unit.
One of the world’s largest chemical producers, the Mitsubishi division supplies a wide range of sectors from automotive and electronics to medical and sport.
The Hull facility is to support Mitsubishi and its contractor Fluor Corporation for the SoarnoL ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer facility’s development at Saltend Chemicals Park.
The deal also includes 53,000 sq ft of canopy at King George Dock. The space is in a prime strategic location overlooking the Humber Estuary and near Hull Container Terminal, allowing for the seamless import of cargoes.
Andrew Dawes, regional director of the Humber ports, said: “We are delighted to welcome Mitsubishi Chemical UK to our site and to support them as they continue to expand their operations.
“This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to fostering business growth and delivering flexible, high-quality industrial spaces that meet the evolving needs of our customers.”
