Russell Roof Tiles, a leading manufacturer of roofing systems, has invested £100,000 in a high-efficiency Borche Injection Moulding Machine to fast-track production at its plastics facility. The new 400TN machine will manufacture Dry Verge Unit accessories for its Bute3 roof tile, increasing production capacity and flexibility.
The investment supports Russell Roof Tiles’ ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, with potential energy savings of up to 60-80% aligning with its Net Zero objectives. The company aims to become Net Zero by 2040, 10 years earlier than the UK government’s target.
The new machinery will help meet growing demand for UPVC accessories and enhance product offerings. Russell Roof Tiles has also invested in other sustainable initiatives, including solar panels and electric forklift trucks.
The investment comes as the company nears completion of its largest project to date, a £18.5m state-of-the-art plant that will double output and increase efficiencies.
“We are dedicated to continually bettering our offering, meeting customer demand, and developing as a business through product investment,” said Daniel Hancox, Corporate Sustainability and Development Director.
