Launched in 2018, Red Stag Materials has also gone from strength to strength after acquiring an exclusive UK distribution deal for EZ Street asphalt in their first year, which they now supply across the UK, as well as export to overseas clients. Their plan to grow their product range has been a key goal for the company from the start, with aims of further diversifying and fortifying their position in the market.
This bold move comes after the appointment of new managing director Grant Shewan. He sees this expansion as a golden opportunity to drive growth for Red Stag Materials as well as fostering further innovation in the sector.
The company has already joined forces with several local authorities across the country to meet their pothole repair needs during the Covid-19 lockdown crisis by turning pothole repairs into a one-man job, saving money on man-hours, plant hire, and storage costs.
“It has undoubtedly been a very turbulent year for everyone in our industry,” remarks Grant Shewan, Red Stag Materials’ managing director, “but I am pleased to say that we are in a position to solidify and grow our business and strengthen and enhance the services that we offer our customers.”
Although the pandemic has brought many challenges to the sector, Red Stag Materials have been able continue thriving with the addition of upstream operations such as a dedicated aggregate bagging facility which has been useful in ensuring the company’s resilience during lockdowns.
Now, as a result of their expanding product range, local governments, private companies and individuals will be able to find a wide variety of paving equipment all under one roof, with products ranging from premium quality cut-off saws, asphalt release agents, bitumen remover, limestone chippings, thermoplastic line roll and dust suppressant equipment in the form of portable pressurised bottles.
These portable pressurised bottles are highly convenient, especially in remote locations where access to a direct water supply is limited making it the most flexible method of dust suppression as the necessary equipment can be transported too anywhere.
The pressurised dust suppression bottles can be attached to their new Stihl TS410 and TS420 cut-off saw featuring 300m and 350mm diameter blades that can cut through various materials and its long-life filter system makes for low maintenance use on site. The cut-off saw utilises reduced-emission engine technology resulting in a 20% lower fuel consumption than regular 2-stroke engines, as well as lower exhaust emissions and a reduced weight for better control, without compromising on power and durability.
Grant Shewan, Red Stag Materials’ managing director said: “We at Red Stag Materials are excited to bring a range of new equipment into our product line.
“The new products were specifically chosen by our team of longstanding industry professionals for their quality and longevity. We have brought some of the best products in the market under one roof.
“Red Stag Materials are confident that our products and methodology can make a difference to the highway maintenance sector by changing how road repairs are typically carried out across the UK. The industry is currently facing a crisis. UK roads are deteriorating faster than they can be repaired using traditional heavy plant methods and the sector has been facing budget cuts year on year. We believe that our best-selling product EZ Street is the solution to the sector’s pothole problems.
“We are looking forward to working with more local authorities and private businesses to help them get the best results out of our products and our collective experience of over 100 years in the infrastructure industry.”
