As part of the energy intensive ceramics and glass industries, we are fully committed to operating a long term, commercially profitable business in an environmentally ethical and sustainable manner and we are ISO 14001:2015 compliant.

Our sustainability commitments are demonstrated through our on-site wind turbines, our transition toward electric vehicles, our investment in onsite electricity storage systems and ongoing initiatives to reduce the energy used onsite.

We have invested in ongoing research to extend the life of our products and our forehearths and engineered solutions are designed to minimise energy consumption and maximise production efficiencies.
