BSW Timber has recently invested approximately £3.6 million in the UK fencing market, which is rapidly filling with opportunities. In the last 2 years, the UK sawmilling company invested in infrastructure projects at 5 of its mills in the UK, alongside with a multi-pound acquisition of Southampton-based fencing specialists RF Giddings back in 2014, according to Builders’ Merchants News.
“This significant multi-million investment in fencing technology, combined with our acquisition and development of our Southampton operation, demonstrates BSW's commitment to the UK fencing sector,” said Tony Hackney, chief executive BSW Group.
Hackney added that the fast growing market is helping their products in the commercial and domestic sectors, especially in the incised and acoustic fencing solutions. This growth has increased their sales by nearly 50% in 2015. £2.7 million will be invested in installing multi-head machine lines at mills in Fort William, Dalbeattie, Carlisle and Boat-of-Garten, as to develop a wider range of products, such as weather topped and pointed posts, as well as increased feather-edge capacity.
As BMN reported, another £500,000 were invested in incising machinery in Carlisle, Dalbeattie, Newbridge-on-Wye and Fort William, for improved preservative penetration and retention, to better treatment for the timber end product. The company is also investing in acoustic panel manufacturing, using the Soundshield techonolgy, as to stop the wanted noise on the commercial and domestic markets.
