Pitched roof tile manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles has invested a further £75,000 into machinery, with a new injection moulding tool that is set to increase its production capacity.
The move takes its 2022 investment to almost £2.25 million, following the recent capital investment which the manufacturer made to its utility plant in Lochmaben, plus investment in injection moulding equipment.
The new injection moulding tool is the latest investment from the pitched roof tile manufacturer in its plastic and accessories site in Burton on Trent. The tool was manufactured just 20 miles from the factory, which is an important part of RRT’s policy to source locally, wherever possible, and support British businesses.
Dan Hancox, Business Support Manager at the firm said: “This as a long-term investment that helps to support us in increasing our production rate on our dry verge units, one of the most sort after elements of our roofing systems. We’re proud to be a leading producer of high-quality concrete and UPVC roofing solutions and with the manufacturing technology we have now, we can continue to be just that.”
Early in 2022 Russell Roof Tiles announced its ambition to be Net Zero by 2040.
