Etex Plasterboard Plant

200 million euros expansion of Etex’s plasterboard plant in Bristol

The project involved the major expansion of Etex’s existing facility, which included providing a new autonomous plasterboard production line and warehouse facility.  Comprising of a 53,000m2 GIA, the 0.5km long facility consists of a board line calcination plant and storage facility with first floor office accommodation spanning the board line.

The Etex plasterboard plant expansion has doubled the sites capacity near the Port of Bristol and has a core focus on sustainability, utilising a rainwater harvesting system, installation points for solar PV and electric car charging stations, and a fully electric forklift fleet. The extra space also supports post-consumer gypsum recycling, helping Etex’s Siniat brand in achieving 30% post-consumer gypsum in its plasterboard by 2025.
