HardiePlank fibre cement siding has been credited with preventing the spread of fire at a development in Ashford, Kent, after an arson attack destroyed an apartment building at the scheme.
"The new lines apply printed foils to PVC-UE boards and trims across all our range".
"They are already improving our ability to deliver the highest quality with flexibility to cope with the increased demand," comments Paul Knowles, Operations Director.
"With automatic feeds and foil cutting, and a board width capacity from 75 mm to 450mm, we are able to switch products easily, without affecting throughput volume".
"The labour that was previously tied up on the foil lines can now be redeployed, for example to help us improve our already stringent quality control checks and continuously update and improve the foiling department".
"For our customers, this means even greater quality consistency and gives them extra reasons for relying on us.
As we are in control of this essential part of production, we can ensure that all costs are kept to a minimum and manufacturing is in line with our strict environmental guidelines".
"Kestrel is a rapidly developing company at the moment," confirms Sales and Marketing Director Tony Crutcher.
