Robinson Manufacturing (RML) has completed the acquisition of the fixtures and assets of Castleoak Timber Frame, after the business appointed administrators last week.
The new facilities, in Ebbw Vale, provide RML with substantial additional Timber Frame manufacturing capacity, with production scheduled to start almost immediately.
Staff who were made redundant in the Castleoak liquidation will join the new team, based out of the Abercarn branch and working between the two.
RML’s CEO Simon Kidney, explained the rationale behind the expansion: “The location and infrastructure in the Ebbw Vale plant is well suited to help us meet the increased demand we have been experiencing across our existing network of seven factories. Timber frame is featuring heavily in the plans of most major national and regional housebuilders moving forward, and the acquisition of additional capacity further strengthens our business for the future.”
