New Plasterboard Plant

NEW MANUFACTURING FACILITY

What a difference a year makes! Watch the video above for the latest Progress update on our new Siniat plasterboard factory site.

Join us on our journey in the construction of our new plasterboard manufacturing facility in Bristol.

We are investing in the future of British manufacturing by constructing our new Siniat plasterboard plant close to the port of Bristol in South West England. Etex is making a significant investment in the new factory, which is one of the largest expenditures from Etex to date.

With the new Bristol facility, we will be ideally positioned to support the ongoing growth of the UK construction market by doubling our UK capacity, its customers and those looking to begin a career in the industry.

The plant was commissioned in March 2022, and construction is underway.

#UKManufacturing

A significant investment into the former brownfield site is expected to double Bristol-based production capacity for our Siniat brand, and we’re extremely confident that the in demand for our products will continue.

This means that being able to produce and supply plasterboard in significantly larger quantities will be crucial, not only to the growth of our business and strength of our relationships, but also in supporting the wider construction industry’s growth challenges.

The new manufacturing facility will have a core focus on sustainability, utilising a rainwater harvesting system, installation points for solar PV, electric car charging points and eventually a fully electric forklift fleet.

The extra space will support us in meeting one of our core circular economy objectives of achieving 30% post-consumer gypsum in its plasterboard.

We are already a leading plasterboard player in the UK, selling our products and solutions under our Siniat brand. With extra production capacity, the new Bristol plant will further strengthen our position in the UK, which is the largest plasterboard market in Europe.

The new facility will enable us to meet the demand for high-quality building materials and allow our teams to establish and strengthen long-term relationships with UK customers based on trust and proximity.
