Kingspan launches QuadCore LEC insulation panels

Written by Global Insulation staff
27 January 2023

Ireland/UK: Kingspan has launched a range of reduced-CO2 insulation panels called QuadCore LEC. The producer says that a 100mm-thick QuadCore AWP panel has 40% lower embodied CO2 than an EN15804-A2 standard insulation panel of the same thickness.

Kingspan’s head of innovation Mike Stenson said “As a business we are committed to developing high performing, energy efficient building envelope solutions that help minimise the carbon footprint of buildings over the whole life cycle.” He added “QuadCore is already one of the highest performing insulation technologies in terms of thermal efficiency (underpinned by a 25-year thermal warranty), which could enable higher energy and carbon savings through the operational life of the building. This is the first step on our journey to reducing the embodied carbon of our products, and we anticipate some major milestones by 2030 to drive that down even further.”

19 January 2023

Hungary: Masterplast has concluded an agreement to acquire Pimco. Pimco is in the process of establishing a Euro35.7m, 20,000t/yr glass wool plant at Szerencs, Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County. Növekedés News has reported that an advance investment by Masterplast in the company will enable Pimco's Szerencs plant project to move into the implementation phase. It would then enter production in 2024. Masterplast will fund the investment using the proceeds of its Euro23.3m stock market capital raising in October 2022. The upcoming Szerencs plant was previously the subject of a Euro35.7m grant from the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency.

Masterplast employs 1400 people across 10 countries.

Graffiti attack at Kingspan Stadium over Grenfell Tower fire

Written by Global Insulation staff
12 January 2023

UK: Graffiti reading 'Grenfell' has appeared on walls and gates at the entrance to Ulster Rugby's Kingspan Stadium in Belfast in protest against Kingpan's indirect involvement in the Grenfell Tower fire in London on the night of 13 - 14 June 2017. Some insulation produced by Kingspan was present in the building envelope of the tower at that time.

The Belfast Telegraph newspaper has reported that local groups Act Now and Uplift in the Republic, in partnership with Britain-based 38 Degrees, previously erected a billboard in view of the Kingspan Stadium, expressing solidarity with victims of the Grenfell Tower disaster, in March 2022.
