Demand for SR Timber roofing battens fuels expansion

SR Timber - one of the leading distributors of specialist roofing battens and the renowned ‘Premium Gold’ battens - has announced increased production at its partners’ new state-of-the-art sawmill in Latvia, as well as newly expanded storage facilities at its holding terminal in Goole. This latest development follows the huge growth in demand for its market-renowned range of battens.

At what is said to be Europe’s largest production factory specifically designed for the manufacture of roofing battens (one of two in Latvia owned by the company), the new facility enjoys a fully integrated production process that has been developed by experts from inception over the past two years. With a market leading capacity, the mill has now stepped up output to meet both demand and assure roofing contractors in the UK of that continuing vital consistency of supply of the company’s best-selling gold and traditional battens.

Shaun Revill, Trading Director of SR Timber explains: “Over the years, we have invested heavily with our partners in buildings, plant and equipment and, of course, quality control procedures at our newly-built premises in Latvia. Together with our second sawmill nearby, our current production volume is running at record rates. This now provides us with the scale to produce even larger quantities of battens whilst maintaining the very high standards of consistency in both quality and dimensional accuracy for which SR Timber is renowned.”

Shaun continues: “In what is purely a preventative measure to ensure that roofing merchant depots throughout the UK never run short of stock, we have also expanded our storage facilities at our holding terminal in Goole, and we will soon be expanding our port network to ensure close proximity to our customers.

“Such is our commitment to roofing battens, it is our intention to continue investing in new facilities and technology to enable SR Timber to remain at the forefront of batten production and grading technology,” he concludes.
