BPC Building Products Ltd has made significant investment in three new, state of the art, production lines, substantially increasing capacity to supply builders metalwork to the UK market.
Installed and commissioned at a second combined factory and warehouse facility, located just off junction 40 of the M1, the lines will manufacture a range of builders’ metalwork including joist and truss hangers, restraint straps, angle brackets and timber connectors.
The new facility also gives an additional 1,000 pallet spaces – greatly increasing the company’s stockholding and distribution capacity. Part of the Vista Group – a UK-based independent manufacturer of builders’ metalwork – BPC manufactures quality construction and DIY products including timber fixings, nailing systems, wall ties and frame cramps, as well as timber to masonry and timber to timber connectors.
“We’re proud to be able to create local manufacturing jobs. Yorkshire has a strong tradition for the manufacture of steel products and boasts a highly skilled workforce. Coupled with our three new production lines, this will enable us to significantly ramp up production over the next few months, to continue our growth strategy into 2022,” comments Gareth Simster, managing director at BPC.
