Mineral wool insulation firm doubles capacity at Welsh plant as demand surges for sustainable products
Mineral wool insulation manufacturer Rockwool is investing 拢70m to expand its operations in Wales.
The company will double capacity at its plant in Pencoed, Bridgend creating 110 new jobs.
Rockwool makes non-combustible stone wool insulation products for thermal, fire and acoustic protection. Demand has surged for sustainable building products, and Rockwool claims that its materials are manufactured from 50% recycled materials.
Construction will begin next month on extensions to the Pencoed plant, with completion anticipated in late 2008.
