Precast concrete specialist FP McCann has launched a £90m investment programme to cope with increasing demand.
The move follows positive 2024 half-year sales and will see the firm build several factory extensions and introduce new product lines.
The strategic investment will create 100 new jobs and reinforce the company’s push to maintain and grow its range of sustainable products.
The company is investing in a new factory to produce Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks and Panels following changes to Part L Building Regulations last year and the scheduled introduction of the Future Homes Standard next year.
An additional bagging line will also be operational by the end of this year to bolster the company’s growth in bagged products, incorporating its specialist mortars and grouts.
A natural decorative paving range will also be introduced in September to complement FP McCann’s many precast concrete building products. This new paving portfolio includes a premium choice of riven and sawn Indian sandstone and porcelain paving slabs.
In addition to FP McCann’s below-ground precast concrete solutions for drainage, water management, and utility infrastructure, a new factory is planned to manufacture HDPE twin wall and PVC-u storm and foul sewer drainage pipes and utility ducting.
A company spokesperson said: “We constantly take on board customer feedback, and the investment in these new products and services is driven by the needs of our customers.”
