Global engineering firm moves into brand new HQ as part of major growth plans

A global formwork and groundwork engineering firm has moved into new headquarters as part of its ambitious growth plans.

Ischebeck Titan has added the new base, which is just a few hundred metres from its existing premises in Wellington Road, Burton.

The purpose-built 64,000 sq ft unit includes a 57,000 sq ft distribution centre. The remaining 7,000 sq ft is office space, housing the firm’s senior management, marketing, operations, finance and HR departments.

Ischebeck Titan is a specialist provider of engineered solutions for concrete frame construction and ground engineering applications in the civil engineering and construction industries.

Stuart Bamford, managing director of Ischebeck Titan Group in the UK, said that thanks to consistent growth in business in recent years the firm was now looking to accelerate its expansion plans.

The business already employs 36 staff at its Burton site, but it has plans to add “many new jobs” across a variety of disciplines.

Mr Bamford said: “Our investment has not only financed new offices, we’ve also upgraded our operations with additional product lines, innovations and increased stock levels in the UK.

“As the formwork and ground engineering division looks forward to celebrating its 30th anniversary in the UK next year, we’re proud to have a continued strong presence in Burton.

“Our UK operations started in a single Portakabin and since then we’ve come a long way. We’re stronger than ever, which is down to the company’s continuous innovation and our exceptionally talented and loyal staff.”

As well as enabling the firm to develop new products, the new premises prompted a review of processes and supply chain management systems at Ischebeck Titan to achieve greater efficiencies across the business.

This has included working with Burton waste management experts Willshee’s Waste & Recycling to help it achieve its ambition of sending zero waste to landfill.

It has also partnered with transport supplier Punchards, based in Uttoxeter, as part of its commitment to use local expertise.
