Russell Roof Tiles has committed a further £100,000 commitment to advanced technology, supporting the production of high-quality plastic accessories and components for its concrete roofing systems.
The new 1 + 1 Dry Verge injection mould bespoke tool has been designed and manufactured by UK-based Neptune Injection Limited and will be situated at the company's 28,000 ft dedicated plastics facility in Burton on Trent.
Daniel Hancox, Corporate Sustainability and Development Director at Russell Roof Tiles, said: "We have invested more than £600,000 since 2021 in developing our uPVC accessories manufacturing facility and our new injection mould tool fits seamlessly into our operation.
"This latest upgrade will continue to help us deliver high-quality, fully integrated roofing systems for our customers."
Russell Roof Tiles' dedicated plastics facility, which has been operational since 1997, manufactures a range of profile-specific accessories designed to fit seamlessly with the company's concrete tiles. Products are tested for wind uplift resistance, water ingress and durability to ensure consistent performance across both new-build and refurbishment projects.
Russell Roof Tiles offer own-brand dry fix systems as well as ventilation products, fixings and underlay with a whole system approach. Its accessories have been designed to be profile-specific rather than generic, helping provide a precise fit with the company's concrete tiles.
Russell Roof Tiles dry fix system is also fully compliant with the highest industry standards, specifically BS 8612, the British Standard setting requirements around dry fixed ridge, hip and verge systems.
Gary Statham, Director at Neptune Injection Limited, said: "Seeing the completed tool go straight into production and produce high-quality parts is a great demonstration of the precision engineering and manufacturing expertise we have here in the UK.
