Insulation manufacturer ROCKWOOL has launched a new global centre of excellence for fire-stopping at Hams Hall, on the outskirts of Birmingham, where it will manufacture a new best-in-class range of products<\/h2>\n

Already well-known for its Euroclass A1 non-combustible stone wool insulation, the new multi-million pound fire-stopping centre of excellence builds ROCKWOOL\u2019s in-house expertise on fire safety.<\/p>\n

ROCKWOOL\u2019s new fire-stopping range, which is due to launch this summer, will include coated batt, sealants, collars, wraps, pillows and socket boxes. With state-of-the-art equipment, the facility will enable ROCKWOOL to manage the product line from conception to delivery, and support ongoing innovation and the pursuit of industry-leading performance and sustainability.<\/p>\n

Supporting industry partners<\/h3>\n

Later this year, ROCKWOOL will also open a specialist training centre at the Hams Hall site to support partners in the construction industry. This will provide ROCKWOOL\u2019s clients with the opportunity to experience product demonstrations, as well as having the chance to install ROCKWOOL\u2019s fire-stopping, HVAC and fire protection products across a series of rigs set up to mirror a variety of common building applications.<\/p>\n

Visitors to the centre will be able to bank these learning sessions as credits towards their Continual Professional Development (CPD).<\/p>\n

This complements the company\u2019s existing e-Learning platform for industry \u2013 ROCKWOOL Learning \u2013 which provides industry professionals with easy access to self-guided training modules, automatic CPD tracking and digital certification, all within a centralised hub for learning and development.<\/p>\n

As the industry continues to adapt to the changes brought in by the Building Safety Act, ROCKWOOL believes this emphasis on supporting industry skills and competence is critical for supporting building performance and public safety.<\/p>\n

New strategic hire<\/h3>\n

To lead the centre of excellence as well as driving the company\u2019s product and technical strategy across its full portfolio of services and solutions, ROCKWOOL is delighted to have hired industry expert Ben Peach, who has 20 years\u2019 senior experience at the forefront of the UK\u2019s fire-stopping industry.<\/p>\n

Ben, who has taken up the role of Product and Technical Solutions Director at ROCKWOOL Ltd, said:” I\u2019m delighted to have joined ROCKWOOL at this critical time for fire safety in the UK. During my career, I have had the pleasure of working alongside the company and have seen first-hand the expertise and dedication across the team.<\/p>\n

“Building on this with our new centre of excellence will support fire safety in the UK<\/a> and further enhance ROCKWOOL\u2019s ability to innovate and develop best-in-class products.\u201d<\/p>\n

Investing in the West Midlands<\/h3>\n

This latest investment follows ROCKWOOL\u2019s recent announcement<\/a> of a land purchase in Peddimore, north east of Birmingham, with the aim of creating an additional UK stone wool insulation production site.<\/p>\n

Nick Wilson, managing director of ROCKWOOL UK and Ireland, said:<\/h3>\n

\u201cOur new global centre of excellence heralds an exciting phase for ROCKWOOL. As well as furthering our ongoing commitment to industry best practice in fire safety, we are excited to be creating highly skilled jobs in this important sector.<\/p>\n

“During the past 45 years, we have built a strong foundation at our site in South Wales, where we continue to manufacture and invest for the long-term, and we\u2019re excited about what the future holds as we expand and invest into the West Midlands.\u201d<\/p>\n
