Clean label ingredient specialist Ulrick + Short opened a new blending and warehouse facility. This is the company’s third production site, which was secured as Ulrick + Short celebrated its 25th anniversary last year. The facility, located just off the M1 at Leeds Valley Park, Stourton, brings together UK warehousing, blending and production, a QC laboratory, sample room, dedicated development space and integrated offices.

The investment expands the company’s manufacturing and blending capabilities and supports the development and scale-up of increasingly sophisticated ingredient solutions, Ulrick + Short emphasizes.

“The opening of Leeds Valley Park represents an important step in the next chapter of U+S,” said Adrian Short, CEO and Co-Founder. “This investment strengthens our blending capability and enhances the resilience of our supply chain, enabling greater flexibility and capacity to support future innovation.”

In January 2026, Ulrick + Short achieved a BRC AA grade for the new site, confirming its operational commitment to food safety and quality standards. The facility is now fully operational.
