Rockwool Group has announced a Euro100 million investment to double UK manufacturing capacity from its Bridgend, South Wales plant by the end of next year.
Rockwool insulation has the highest CEN Fire Certification A1 rating, meaning it is non-combustible. It is manufactured using igneous volcanic rock, an abundantly available resource which, says the company, can save hundreds of times the greenhouse gases generated during its production. Sustainable manufacturing ensures that 50% of Rockwool by weight is made from recycled or reused materials.
The expansion includes the introduction of one of the world’s most technically-advanced production lines, enabling the development of higher quality, lower density products for the UK, Irish and European markets.
The investment incorporates new warehousing, technical support and distribution facilities to support the increase capacity and ensure a responsive and flexible service, industry-wide.
