Roofing specialist BMI UK & Ireland has completed a major £6.3m refurbishment of its Coventry-based Redland clay tile plant and kiln, with production now underway after five months of planned maintenance.
The investment has modernised the site’s Rosemary kiln and production processes, enhancing operational efficiency, product quality and manufacturing resilience. The refurbishment included improvements in the plant’s automation and product handling capabilities.
The refurbished kiln also features upgraded gas and control equipment to help production keep pace with modern demand, while the kiln entrance was also repainted and fitted with upgraded kit and hydraulics.
The new efficiencies will help BMI Redland deliver long-term operational benefits, providing customers with reliable production and consistent supply.
