The factory in question is over 120,000 square feet in size. As a result, CCG managers might want to use printing services in Coatbridge for a range of purposes in the future. Alastair Wylie, the chief executive, has told the Herald:
“People who have researched this for us have told us there is a tremendous demand for this product, with national UK companies receptive to modern methods of construction like this, reducing wastage and inefficiency and helping to address weather-related issues.”
Wylie has argued that timber can be helpful for the building sector in terms of limiting its carbon footprint. He has stressed that CCG has the manufacturing background to make the plan feasible in practice.
CCG has spent three years at work on the concept, and has been backed by the organisation Scottish Enterprise. In addition, it has received assistance from Napier University.
A trial has been performed to check out whether or not the process in question would work. After drying, Scottish timber was transported to Germany to be made into panels. The quality of these objects was assessed at a technical institute within Austria.
CCG will have to spend a considerable sum if it wants to move forward with the project, and has requested help from the government in Scotland and Scottish Enterprise to this end. Get a Free Quote for Plans
