FP McCann has invested £90m in expanding its manufacturing operations. The investment will create 100 new jobs within the company, following positive sales in the first half of 2024, and will see the expansion of several factories as well as the introduction of new product lines.
Significant milestone
The new investments will also help to maintain and further grow our range of sustainable products. Pioneering quality control processes have already been introduced at several of our 12 UK manufacturing facilities, with AI quality checking and full product traceability assisting in the drive to become Carbon Neutral.
Changes to Part L Building Regulations 2023 marked a significant milestone towards delivering the UK’s net zero targets. FP McCann is investing in a new factory to produce Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Blocks and Panels (AAC), making compliance with the new changes more achievable. Next year will also see the introduction of Future Homes Standard, which sets a clear pathway for building the next generation of energy efficient and climate-resilient homes.
An additional bagging line will be operational in Q4 2024 to bolster growth in our range of bagged products, incorporating our specialist mortars and grouts.
New products
A natural decorative paving range will also be introduced in September 2024, complementing FP McCann’s extensive range of precast concrete building products. The paving portfolio includes premium riven and sawn Indian sandstone and porcelain paving slabs.
In addition to FP McCann’s below-ground precast concrete solutions for drainage, water management, and utility infrastructure, a new factory is planned to manufacture HDPE twin wall and PVC-u storm and foul sewer drainage pipes and utility ducting.
A spokesperson for FP McCann stated, “We constantly take on board customer feedback, and the investment in these new products and services is driven by the needs of our customers. As an example, FP McCann’s unique multi-product load offering has been a fantastic success. Builders’ merchants no longer have to coordinate multiple deliveries of single product loads, each often carrying a part-load surcharge. With the introduction of our new decorative paving range, we can now offer up to 8 different products on a single load, and as more products come online, we will expand this service further.”
