Graphic Packaging wraps up deal on one of Bristol’s largest warehouses
Atlanta-headquartered Graphic Packaging International will be moving into one of the largest available logistics buildings in the Bristol area after agreeing a deal with Mileway.
The firm has signed a lease on Titan, a newly refurbished 255,686 sq ft distribution warehouse on Armstrong Way in Yate, to the north-east of the city. The relocation to the new premises is expected later this year as its current site on Filwood Road in Fishponds is reaching the end of its economic life.
At Titan, which is situated on Great Western Business Park, Graphic plans investment in new plant and machinery to boost its manufacturing of packaging for beverage brands. The move will also create around 90 new jobs.

Martin Sheppard, general manager for Europe and MENA for beverage packaging at Graphic, said: “[The new facility] will provide an enhanced and conveniently located working environment for our staff and, following investment in new plant and machinery, enable us to increase output of our sustainable packaging solutions, including KeelClip™, a multi-award-winning pack that enables customers to eliminate plastic rings and shrink wrap from their beverage can multipacks.”
Robert Cleeves, director in the industrial and logistics team at Savills Bristol, who acted for Graphic, added: “There is a real lack of supply of big-box warehouse units in Bristol and the South West, so there is always strong demand when a good-quality unit comes to market.”
