Heavy construction materials firm boosts UK mortar supply with three new production sites
HOLCIM UK have strengthened their national mortar network with the addition of three new dry silo and ready-to-use facilities, boosting supply for housebuilders, groundworkers, bricklayers and developers across the Midlands, North West, Wales and Central England.
The newly opened sites at Holme Park (Cumbria), Croft (Leicestershire) and Kidderminster (Worcestershire) – all transformed from former concrete plants – complement existing facilities in Wrexham (North Wales) and Ellesmere (Cheshire). The investment is a response to rising demand for consistent, high-performance mortar across housing, residential extensions, education, healthcare and public-sector construction.
At Holme Park, which serves Cumbria, Lancashire, the North West and southern Scotland, Holcim have introduced an automated admixture and pigment dosing system. This technology enhances quality control, reduces manual error, and ensures consistent colour and performance — key for bricklayers working to tight deadlines
Holme Park works in tandem with the Kidderminster facility, strengthening coverage across the Midlands, Bristol, South Wales and Central England – and expanding Holcim’s dry silo mortar capability for national housebuilders, SME contractors and merchants.
