Cembrit Plans Expansion in the UK

Cembrit Plans Expansion in the UK

Cembrit has ambitious plans to expand its operation in the UK. Cembrit’s claddings, building boards and corrugated sheets, in addition to its popular natural and fibre cement slate, will be stocked and sold from three hub operations in Reading, Normanton and Llandow (Nr. Cardiff).

This bold move is supported by the creation of a 12 strong customer services department, including new recruits, based at the depots, reporting to a customer services expert, Steve Walden. Customer services is supported by a supply chain and logistics operation of a further 13 personnel at the depots and head office.

Cembrit’s new UK headquarters has been opened at the Thames Innovation Centre in Erith, Kent. The new headquarters is a result of the continued growth the company has been experiencing in the UK over recent years. The premises provide the company with more efficient office space and a dedicated sample facility, which allows Cembrit to showcase its full range of roofing, cladding and corrugated sheet products.

M.D. Thomas Heldgaard said "2017 is a significant year for Cembrit’s expansion in the UK, as well as other areas. We have recently opened a state-of-the-art factory in Hungary, expanded our product range and ventured into new markets. The move into our new HQ comes at the same time as we increase our workforce. These developments support the growth we are experiencing and show our commitment to ensuring we are offering our customers the best service possible.”
