Located on the border between South Tyneside and Sunderland the International Advanced Manufacturing Park (IAMP) is a ten-year regeneration project on 150 hectres of land designed to attract private sector investment and 7,500 jobs in advanced manufacturing in the automotive, energy, rail, aerospace, electronics and pharmaceutical sectors. The project, a partnership between South Tyneside and Sunderland Councils, has completed its first phase and has sold all its developable land, with occupiers including manufacturing giants SNOP UK and Faltec Europe on site.
Construction of the new AESC UK £450m gigafactory for battery production is well underway. The plant, which is due to open in 2025, will create around 1000 new jobs in the area. The Council’s South Tyneside Works team continues to work with AESC UK to secure apprenticeship opportunities for our residents, so far supporting funding for four Maintenance Technician apprentices following a recruitment event in April 2024.
Planning permission has been secured for the second phase of the project, which will see the widening of the A1290 through the site, and the required highways infrastructure to open up 1.8million square feet of space for advanced manufacturing on the ‘Northern Employment Area’ in South Tyneside. Work on the A1290 improvements commenced in Spring 2024.
