The
UK’s largest manufacturer of metal ceilings and
associated interior fit-out solutions, SAS
International, has started construction work at its
manufacturing site in Maybole, Ayrshire. The 7,500
m2 expansion is set to complete at the end of 2011.
SAS International has invested in the
Maybole community for the last 25 years. This
expansion not only secures existing jobs at the site
but also further recruitment is expected once the
site is fully operational.
Andrew Jackson of SAS International
comments: “It’s great to get work underway on the
new extension. We believe investment in operational
facilities and skilled labour in the UK is key to
ensure both manufacturing and our UK economy stay
strong.”
In contrast to recent reports about a
downturn in UK manufacturing SAS International
recently announced record pre-tax profits for the
year end 2010 which saw export orders up 127%. The
Maybole facility is one of the company’s key sites
that manufactures Architectural Metalwork solutions
designed for projects Worldwide from Australia and
the Middle East through to Europe.
The new extension adds capacity to
production of SAS International’s range of
Architectural Metalwork products and allows further
investment in new equipment and processes, to help
fulfil orders in both the UK and overseas.
