Global manufacturer ARDEX has committed to a 20-year lease for a state-of-the-art headquarter facility at the innovative The YARDS industrial precinct. The facility has been designed to target a 6 Star Green Star rating and features a 40m high manufacturing tower, 20m silo area and a 3,500m² three-storey office space.

The site will be a consolidation of ARDEX’s NSW operations and will be a flagship and regional support office for its 10 manufacturing sites within Australia and New Zealand. ARDEX will manufacture and supply innovative building solutions under key brands such as ARDEX, Dunlop, DTA and ABA. The facility will also feature areas designed for training and testing, battery charging and spill containment. A planned solar panel system spanning 17,000m² will allow ARDEX to manufacture utilising its own energy production, in addition to rainwater collection tanks and energy efficient lighting that will be incorporated into the building’s design. The company has been manufacturing in Australia for over 55 years, and the site was chosen at the strategically located Kemps Creek estate to help continue its expansion in the Oceania region.
