A Wiltshire factory remains on the market for over £1 million a year with its replacement currently under construction.

The Siemens factory at Langley Park is set to be vacated next year after the international firm announced its plans to relocate to a £100 million state-of-the-art facility in 2024.

This new site is currently under construction after work started at Southpoint Business Park, to the south of town, earlier in 2025.

Siemens has previously stated it plans to complete this build by the time its lease for the Langley Park factory ends in 2026.

Last year Commercial property agent Whitmarsh Lockhart told this paper it was in the early stages of locating a new occupant for the current site in northern Chippenham.

This “substantial” industrial, warehouse, and office premises takes up more than 209,000sq feet and a year later remains available at £1,048,810 per year for the entire site.

The factory has a rich history of acting as a hub for designing, manufacturing, and delivering railway technology, including signalling and control systems.

It was first established by contractor Evans O’Donnell in 1897.

Over the years it underwent various transitions, including being acquired by the Westinghouse Brake & Signalling Company, before becoming part of Siemens’ global network of rail infrastructure production facilities in 2013.
