Breedon open new concrete tile plant in Northern Ireland

New Lisburn factory increases production capacity by more than 80% and incorporates sustainable manufacturing practices

BREEDON Group plc have opened a new £5 million state-of-the-art concrete roof tile production facility in Lisburn, Northern Ireland. The plant – which has been built with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind – will increase Breedon’s tile production capacity in the Belfast region by more than 80%, from 12 million to 22 million roof tiles a year.

The investment will also enhance the company’s supply and delivery capabilities, shortening lead times, as well as setting a new benchmark in terms of tile manufacturing efficiency, output, and sustainability in Northern Ireland. 

Jude Lagan, managing director for cement and products at Breedon Group, said: ‘I am proud to see the opening of this impressive facility in Lisburn, demonstrating our commitment to our business in Ireland, whilst benefitting the wider region, providing more supply, and enabling secondary and tertiary industries to thrive.’
