Toome-based Topglass record with largest rver aluminium project for NRC Ballymena
Toomebridge-based glazing and facade specialist Topglass has completed its largest ever aluminium window, door, and curtain walling project to date at the Northern Regional College (NRC) Ballymena Campus.
The Reginal College project was delivered in partnership with the main contractor Heron Bros.
The landmark project showcases Topglass’ technical expertise and capability in delivering large-scale façade solutions for complex educational developments. Building on this achievement, the company is now on site and in full production at the Ballycastle Shared Education Campus. This is again working with Heron Bros to deliver another high-profile project within Northern Ireland’s education sector.
“The successful delivery of NRC Ballymena demonstrates both the strength of our partnership with Heron Bros and the growth of our production operations,” said Topglass’ Operations Manager, Hugh McCann. “By continuing to invest in skills, innovation, and infrastructure, Topglass is setting new benchmarks in aluminium systems across the UK and Ireland.”
The Ballymena project was made possible by strategic investment in people and technology. Over the past year, Topglass has increased its team by 40% and upgraded production equipment. This supported the assembly of record-breaking volumes of glazing and aluminium, including the Metal Technology systems specified on both campuses.
Topglass is part of The Rathbane Group and a sister company of MJM Marine, a leading international specialist in cruise ship refurbishment; Mivan, one of Northern Ireland’s best-known fit-out businesses working in the luxury land and marine sectors across the world; NTS, a specialist marine technical services business; and Rathbane Holdings, property and asset management.
