It's a Record - Product sales soar by 53% during 2006/07
ScotAsh achieved a record year in 2006/07, with product sales up by 53% on last year to 833,000 tonnes.
Sales of cementitious products were boosted during the year by contracts to supply the new Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine rail link, various new windfarms and the shaft isolation project at Dounreay, as well as several recycled roads projects.
Managing Director Peter Quinn said: "We are successfully diversifying our product base to include innovative materials that enable road excavation spoil to be stabilised and re-used instead of being dumped. This is having a positive effect on our turnover and it is also good for the environment.
"We have seen an upturn in the volume of products we are manufacturing under our toll blending agreement with Sika and demand for cements and grouts also grew during the year. Sales of non-cementitious products also grew by a significant margin."
The company achieved its record year despite difficulties with logistics for several weeks in early 2007 when the collapse of a coal conveyor at Longannet Power Station impeded access for delivery trucks.
Peter added: "My thanks go to our customers for their forbearance and continued support during that difficult period and to the entire team at ScotAsh for their contribution to our best year ever."
