The First Minister of Scotland, the Right Honourable John Swinney MSP, has now opened one of the UK’s most technologically advanced timber frame construction facilities in Irvine, Scotland. The facility is operated by Alexander Timber Design (ATD), a company owned and run by Glennon Brothers. The £18m investment in this new facility brings Glennon Brothers’ total investment in Scotland to over €80 million. Located in Irvine, North Ayrshire, this cutting-edge manufacturing plant combines advanced robotics, precision engineering and the latest next-generation design systems to deliver high-quality Scottish timber homes, while excelling with world-class standards of efficiency, sustainability and resource maximisation. …As the UK construction industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint, the opening of this plant offers a scalable, sustainable solution that aligns with national and international climate goals. Timber frame construction is widely regarded as one of the most environmentally friendly building techniques available.
