Etex Group has created Etex Building Performance UK as part of a long-term initiative that aims to become the construction sector’s leading provider of dry construction solutions.
The division brings together Etex’s drywall products manufacturer Siniat, passive fire protection specialist Promat and newly acquired Steel Frame Systems (SFS) provider EOS Facades.
The company says that the new Group will be able to combine their technical expertise and R&D resources to provide new innovations to the dry construction sector.
The division will employ over 500 people, with manufacturing sites in Bristol, Yorkshire and County Durham. It will be led by Neil Ash, the managing director of Siniat UK who will become head of Etex Building Performance UK.
Outlining his vision for the future, Mr Ash said: “Our vision is singular – to be the leading expert in dry construction, concentrating our efforts on creating solutions for the buildings of tomorrow. The three brands within Etex Building Performance complement each other and are well known for their innovation, high-quality manufacturing and technical know-how.
“By combining forces we will provide pioneering solutions and industry-leading technical expertise, backed by excellent customer service. From working with specifiers at the design stage through to providing subcontractors with dedicated technical on-site advice, Etex Building Performance will support its customers from the initial phase of a project, through to completion.”
All three brands will continue to trade separately in the UK as Siniat, Promat and EOS Facades.
