LONDON (Alliance News) - Michelmersh Brick Holdings PLC Monday said it has completed the GBP2.2 million expansion of its Freshfield Lane brickworks in Sussex, bolstering manufacturing capacity at the plant by 6 million bricks or 20%, and said trading has been strong in early 2015.
"The company is pleased to announce that this project has been completed within budget and on schedule and the plant now has a capability of producing 36 million bricks per annum. The investment encompassed a new clay preparation area, an additional brick making machine, extending drier capacity and the erection of a new 'clamp' for firing the bricks," it said in a statement.
Michelmersh will release its 2014 results on March 23. It said trading across the group had been strong early in 2015.
