National Timber Systems (NTS), the specialist engineered wood products division of Sheffield-based National Timber Group, is increasing its offsite manufacturing capacity through a \u00a31.5m investment by the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NTS products include gable and party spandrels, trussed rafters, engineered joists, floor and roof cassettes, and a \u201crapid fit\u201d room in the roof panelised roof system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Richard Jarvis, NTS operations director, said: \u201cThe investment from National Timber Group is allowing us to add more truss presses, truss and joist file driven saws and lasers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is improving our capacity to supply high quality products and reducing lead times for our customers across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe first quarter of 2022 was a record in terms of turnover, and our order book is at the highest level it has ever been. Our turnover target for 2022 is \u00a348m.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NTS was formed in 2019 combining the design, manufacturing, and logistic capabilities of well-established companies Arnold Laver and NYTimber, both part of National Timber Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Currently 240 people are employed across the four NTS sites at Sheffield and Catterick in Yorkshire, Hebburn in the North East, and Bristol in the South West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rob Barclay, National Timber Group CEO, said: \u201cNTS is one of our high growth divisions and it is important we continue to support this and their growing customer base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFollowing a \u00a3500,000 investment in the relocation of the Bristol site in 2021, the search for an additional new site for NTS is underway.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
