Kilwaughter Minerals

At Kilwaughter Minerals, we continue to invest in our three market segments of construction, sustainable homes and agriculture under our brands K Rend, K Systems and Kilwaughter Lime.

Deeply embedded in the corporate culture is Customer Experience to achieve continuous customer excellence at every touch point and to deliver consistent quality products and solutions that add value to the lives of people. This is the core element of our strategic framework as we continue to drive significant organic growth and ambition for the future.

Our recent investments in our R&D function have seen us add considerably to the team with several PhD scientists, as we work to deliver those innovative, quality products and we were delighted to launch the first of many new products, K Mono, to the construction market this year. The product has been created to match the latest needs in the render industry, including easy to use solutions where skills shortages continue. Kilwaughter places a strong emphasis on people investment and engagement. We work hard in these areas to give our people and teams a positive experience whilst adding value to them on their personal journeys. Having recently been accredited as a Great Place to Work, we were delighted to increase our score by an additional 5% in the most recent survey. Safety remains the primary focus for Kilwaughter as a central element of our Health, Safety & Wellbeing Strategy and we have been proud to add new initiatives such as a Health & Safety Focus Week to our calendar to help continue reinforce the importance to every member of the team. We look forward to launching our ESG strategy this year which helps us shape our sustainability commitments as we work to support many areas including climate change and carbon management, waste management, use of plastics and packaging, product design and sustainable R&D. This will sit alongside some other core elements of the Kilwaughter ethos including community relations and biodiversity which have continued with vigour across many projects including sponsorship of local organisations such as Larne Athletics, donations to charities including Air Ambulance and engagement with local schools through Youth Enterprise and 4C UR Future. Our recent award as Stakeholder of the Year as part of the Social Enterprise Awards remains a highlight for our long-term partnership with a local social enterprise, AEL. Capex investment remains key to our continued growth and we recently commissioned our new blending plant facility and officially opened our new building at our headquarters in Larne. We look forward to building further momentum in these investments as we look towards the future.
