Heron Bros Spreads its Wings in Cookstown Manufacturing Investment

Heron Bros Group has committed over £6.5 million to strategically bolster its manufacturing capabilities in Cookstown, targeting growing opportunities within the UK and Ireland’s dynamic construction, refurbishment, and fit-out sectors. This substantial investment is directed towards two key subsidiary operations: Promould, a recognised market leader in MDF wrapped profiles for diverse applications, and Heron Fit Out, specialising in high-standard timber fire door manufacturing, crucial for safety and regulatory compliance. The capital injection is projected to expand production capacity by over 50% and deliver significant operational efficiencies across both facilities. This strategic enhancement is expected to facilitate greater product innovation and research and development, alongside the creation of at least 30 new manufacturing, sales, and administrative roles over the next two years. Martin Blaney, Manufacturing Director, underscored the investment as a strategic 'vote of confidence' aimed at enhancing competitiveness and leveraging internal synergies. For senior decision-makers, this move signals a proactive strategy to strengthen the supply chain, ensure greater control over critical components, and capitalise on robust market demand for specialised building materials, underscoring Heron Bros' long-term commitment to the sector.
