Smurfit Westrock’s manufacturing facility in Stalybridge is a key part of its UK operations, producing corrugated packaging for a wide range of sectors. Within the site, the balehouse plays a central operational role, compacting and processing packaging products and waste materials. Over time, the balehouse roof had deteriorated through multiple historic overlays and long-term wear. The structure had become fragile, thermally inefficient and prone to leaks, with condensation forming around M&E services. While ongoing repairs kept the building in use, the underlying condition of the roof and deck meant that a full replacement was unavoidable.
