Brett Martin has announced a £15 million investment at its Mallusk site in Northern Ireland, to drive future growth in its plumbing and drainage division.
This expansion marks the largest single investment in the company’s history and reinforces Brett Martin’s long-term commitment to its local manufacturing base. The investment will nearly double the production footprint of the plumbing and drainage facility, adding 25,000ft2 of advanced manufacturing space.
Phase one of the project includes the installation of new automated injection moulding solutions, to improve efficiency and output of drainage fittings. Brett Martin aims to increase volume output by 30% over the coming years.
To support the expansion on the Mallusk site, where over half of the company’s total workforce is located, an additional 70,000ft2 of warehousing has also been constructed.
Andrew Martin, Group Director at Brett Martin, who things the new investment is a necessary step in the company’s continued success, explained: “We are delighted to announce the expansion in manufacturing capacity in Mallusk. This latest investment plan comes off the back of continual sales growth in Brett Martin’s UK and Irish markets. We operate in a highly competitive market where manufacturing efficiency is essential for our continued growth”
“At Mallusk, our team delivers projects that make a meaningful difference across various sectors - including sport, business, healthcare, education, and agriculture. This expansion is designed to consolidate our past achievements while equipping us with competitive production capabilities to support our ambitious growth plans in the years ahead. While our focus remains on the UK and Irish markets, the ongoing housing shortage across the UK presents a significant opportunity for continued development."
The Mallusk site is one of Northern Ireland’s leading sustainable manufacturing locations, featuring dedicated wind and solar power generation and a strong emphasis on the use of recycled materials. This investment supports both the company’s growth ambitions and its environmental commitments.
