West Yorkshire, UK-based Craven Fawcett, part of Group Rhodes, has won a major new contract with Ibstock to supply the first net zero brick facility in the UK.
The multi million pound project will see Craven Fawcett design, build, and manufacture a fully integrated state-of-the-art clay preparation and extrusion line at Ibstock’s Atlas site in the West Midlands. The news follows Ibstock’s announcement of a £60 million investment in its Atlas and Aldridge plants, which will collectively deliver an additional 115 million brick capacity per annum.
Ibstock has a history dating back more than 200 years and has a diversified range of clay and concrete products. The Group’s clay division is the leading manufacturer by volume of clay bricks sold in the UK. The group operates 16 manufacturing sites and a network of 18 active quarries.
The contract is expected to take approximately 24 months through to final commissioning.
