CO Tyrone building materials manufacturer AG said its production capacity has been ramped up by 50 per cent following increased demand for facing brick and paving products.

The Fivemiletown-based group reported record-breaking sales in both the domestic and commercial sectors.

Chief executive Stephen Acheson said he expects the demand for building products to continue to grow in the coming months.

“We predict this exceptional demand will continue to grow over the next 12 months, placing considerable pressure on building merchants.

“In response, we have introduced new processes enabling us to significantly increase production input and massively reducing our lead times," he said.

“We have greater stock levels of some of our most popular products which can be easily called off at short notice and lead times on some made to order items is as little as four weeks, which will be satisfying news to our customers.”
