Ransomes Industrial Estate, also known as Ransomes Europark is combined retail and business park on the South-Eastern edge of Ipswich in Suffolk, UK. It takes its name from Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies, which still maintains a presence on the park.
Predominantly the park consists of light industrial and logistics companies, although there is a growing number of retailers and offices including the head office for KDM International and MSC UK.
In February 2008 it was announced that IKEA are in talks to take on part of the estate occupied by Crane Fluid Systems for a new store.
Famous quotes containing the words industrial and/or estate:
“The basis on which good repute in any highly organized industrial community ultimately rests is pecuniary strength; and the means of showing pecuniary strength, and so of gaining or retaining a good name, are leisure and a conspicuous consumption of goods.”

“I ‘gin to be aweary of the sun,
And wish th’ estate o’ the world were now undone.”
