Swedish I-joist manufacturer Masonite AB is relaunching in the UK following a €10m investment in a new factory.

The company, which has had a presence in Britain since the 1970s, has recruited a new UK team and promises a range of “first to UK market” product and software innovations.

Neil Lewis, the former head of iLevel in the UK, is heading the team.

The new factory will be officially opened in September, when Masonite intends to make further annoucements about its business plans.

The Masonite I-joist comprises whitewood flanges combined with Masonite K40 structural board for the web.
