MODULAR construction specialist and Portakabin subsidiary, Yorkon, has completed construction of new office and laboratory facilities at Grangemouth, Cumbria, for agribusiness company Syngenta.
The formation of Syngenta, following the merger of Novartis and AstraZeneca's agribusinesses and the division of the Grangemouth site, created a shortfall in office and laboratory accommodation.
York-based Yorkon's award winning modular building system was chosen to provide a new, purpose-designed office scheme, which would reflect the company's strong corporate image.
Much of the building work took place at Yorkon's 60-acre production facility in York, allowing the new £1.5m site headquarters for Syngenta to be completed in just five months after the start of work on site.
