SmartParc Group Limited
Food Production Reimagined
SmartParc offers a new asset class of low-carbon, leasable food and drink manufacturing campuses designed by industry specialists to reimagine sustainable food production for the future.
Sustainable food production for the future
Our flagship site, SmartParc SEGRO Derby, is located on a 155-acre regenerated brownfield site developed in collaboration with SEGRO to deliver 2 million sq ft of purpose-built, food-grade facilities that share centralised energy, logistics, and services – replacing the fragmented, single-tenant model that dominates UK food production today.
At the core of SmartParc is a shared heat-recovery and cooling closed-loop network designed specifically for the food and drink sector. Powered by ammonia-based chillers and a 9.8km underground pipe network, the system recycles waste heat from refrigeration plants across the estate for space heating, hot water, and low-temperature food processing. Our campus is also future-proof with solar PV installation, waste management, and biodiversity restoration – embedding sustainability across every stage of the food manufacturing supply chain.
Tenants benefit from energy bills reduced by up to 25% and operational cost savings of up to 20% through shared services, including engineering, hygiene, waste management, and security. The site was strategically selected in the Midlands to optimise access to a talented workforce, cut food miles, and streamline supply chains. At full capacity, the site is projected to create 5,000+ quality jobs.
Our values align with SmartParc's forward-thinking energy infrastructure…[and] it's this collaborative model, where businesses support each other, that will allow us to make real progress towards our sustainability goals.
