2019 will see the launch of what is one of the most advanced I-Joist assembly lines in the world at James Jones & Sons Ltd’s Forres site – the home of the JJI-Joist. The new assembly line, purchased from leading US-based machine maker Globe Machine, will see James Jones more than double the production capacity of its market-leading JJI-Joist to 20 Million linear metres a year.
The new I-Joist line will also have the ability to manufacture JJI-Joists up to 13.5 metres in length, while maintaining its 450mm depth, as well as additional value adding capabilities.
