Recycling firm set to relocate to new Yorkshire HQ

A plastic waste recycling specialist is set to move into new Leeds headquarters after signing a 10-year lease.

OSO Polymers has agreed a lease with Towngate PLC on an 87,000 sq ft space in Copperworks 2 in Stourton.

The new site will include a newly-refurbished plastics plant, which includes a clear working height of 9.7 m, and will aid with its reprocessing of plastics to produce general-purpose resins and engineering polymers.

In addition, the plant will have ground level loading bays for the firm’s transfer and transformation processes.

Tong Shen, director at OSO Polymers, commented: “We are very pleased to set up our first UK plastic recycling facility in this extensively refurbished premises, on a well-established historical industrial location within Leeds area.

“I am confident the site and the extremely supportive team of Towngate will meet our business needs well into the future, as OSO continues to grow.”

John Wignall, property director at Brighouse-based Towngate PLC, added: “We are delighted to have facilitated this letting.

“I have no doubt that OSO will settle well into this prime industrial location – just minutes from the city centre – on the outskirts of Leeds. The site is certainly ideally positioned for this particular industry.
