Following planning approval, the new facility will be built at Melton West business park, around eight miles from Smith+Nephew’s existing Hull site.

The company plans to replace its existing more-than-century old Hull site.

Expected to open in 2024, the facility will focus on the production of high-technology products, support the swift launches of new products, and manufacture complex materials used across Smith+Nephew’s portfolio.

The new facility is expected to be built to high sustainability standards.
