ROCKWOOL has acquired Wetherby Building Systems, a company specializing in external thermal insulation composite systems. ROCKWOOL is a Denmark-based construction company. Wetherby, headquartered in Greater Manchester, will operate under the ROCKWOOL Wall Systems division as Wetherby Wall Systems. 

ROCKWOOL produces stone wool products, which are known for their durability, recyclability and versatility. The company addresses various global challenges such as energy consumption, noise pollution and fire resilience through its products, which include building insulation, acoustic solutions and horticultural systems.

This acquisition aligns with ROCKWOOL’s commitment to providing sustainable and non-combustible facade solutions, enabling it to support the U.K.’s net zero emissions goal for 2050. Acquiring Wetherby will broaden ROCKWOOL’s facade expertise and expand the company’s presence within the U.K. market.
