Detmold Group to construct its global HQ in Adelaide

Australian-owned international packaging company Detmold Group is constructing new Adelaide headquarters, in order to foster collaboration and innovation and support continued local and international growth. The family-owned and -operated business, which operates in 17 countries and has manufacturing facilities in seven countries, is known for supplying some of the world’s most iconic food and retail brands.

The 5100 m² headquarters will be designed to accommodate up to 240 employees, with staff from eight sites across Adelaide metropolitan suburbs Brompton, Hindmarsh and Regency Park consolidating under one roof by the end of 2026. The three-level building (at 260 Regency Road, Regency Park) will include formal and informal meeting spaces with an open-plan design, breakout areas, onsite parking, end-of-trip facilities and an onsite cafe, opening onto a spacious, green outdoor terrace.

The building will adopt green design features to maximise natural lighting, ventilation and shade for energy efficiency, wellbeing and comfort, along with rainfall harvesting and recirculation. Staff from Detmold Group’s corporate functions and sales companies Detpak, PaperPak, Detmold Medical and Cup & Carry will relocate to the new head office, which sits alongside existing manufacturing and warehousing facilities.

Detmold Group CEO Sascha Detmold Cox said the new headquarters in Regency Park represented a strategic investment in the future of the company.

“Purpose-built with sustainability, collaboration and employee wellbeing in mind, our new corporate home integrates contemporary design with environmentally responsible solutions and an open-plan layout that supports collaboration and innovation,” Detmold Cox said.

“Bringing our Detmold family under one roof will help foster stronger connections, knowledge sharing and a unified culture aligned with our core values.”

Centina and Studio Nine Architects have been appointed to build and design the headquarters.

Site works will commence in June 2025, with project completion scheduled for October 2026.
