Kingspan Off-Site Refocuses Operations
Leading manufacturer of MMC building
systems, Kingspan Off-Site has announced a refocusing of
its timber frame operation in Milton Keynes, formerly
Pace Timber Systems, which was acquired by Kingspan in
December 2006. The company will now focus on developing
key account relationships, offering high quality and
added value products backed by comprehensive service and
support, such as the company’s soon to be introduced
Code for Sustainable Homes Building Assurance Scheme.
The move will see a shift of emphasis away from just the
‘commodity’ manufacture and supply of timber frame
systems, towards providing a more comprehensive level of
customer service and support for its key customer base.
Gilbert McCarthy, managing director of Kingspan Off-Site
explained the rationale behind the changes: “Projects
such as the Kingspan Lighthouse and our involvement in
the Carbon Challenge have demonstrated that Kingspan
Off-Site has the technical expertise and manufacturing
capability to deliver industry-leading timber frame
solutions.
“To take this to the next level, we believe it is
necessary to work with key account partners to refine
and develop the complete design, manufacturing and
construction process to deliver repeatable and
consistent, high quality performance that meets and
exceeds ever-tightening building requirements, such as
those demanded by the Code for Sustainable Homes.”
The refocus will involve some restructuring of the
company’s timber frame operations, with the merger of
teams from the Milton Keynes and Potton manufacturing
sites. This restructuring will result in a limited
number of job losses at Milton Keynes. These job losses
will be predominantly non-manufacturing positions.
The outlook for the Kingspan Off-Site business, despite
the current market slowdown, remains positive. The
company is investing heavily in CNC processing
capability at the Milton Keynes facility in order to
increase the production capacity of the TEK Building
System. In addition, the development of Kingspan
Off-Site's through wall façade solutions, in particular
the GRC Fabrik façade range, provides Kingspan Off-Site
with a unique product offering when combined with its
timber, TEK and steel framing capability.
