Rochdale-based timber mouldings and cladding specialist, Dresser Mouldings, has rebranded to Latham Timber Manufacturing (LTM) as part of the business’ next step. The move is a key milestone in the James Latham Group’s strategic objective to bring all its subsidiaries in line with the overall family of brands, creating a holistic package that will straddle the distribution services supply chain.
James Latham acquired Dresser in 2019 to meet the rising market demand for machined mouldings and cladding, a trend that has only continued to grow since. Over the past five years, the business has built on its unrivalled reputation for quality, creativity, and consistency, working with high-profile clients to develop decorative and finishing solutions across a wide variety of sectors. This ranges from intricate bespoke carving and cornicing to Award Winning cladding products and through to high-performance, ultra-sustainable curtain wall systems.
As LTM, the business will continue to deliver the same best-in-class services customers have come to expect, while benefitting from significant investment provided by the James Latham Group. This has been seen in the major upgrades made to plant equipment, which now possesses the very latest state-of-the-art machinery, increasing capability and efficiency without compromising on finesse.
James Latham has also introduced the James Latham Cladding Visualiser. A powerful new platform, it builds on the success of the distributor’s award-winning Digital Showroom, providing an opportunity to see how its cladding portfolio will look in application, ahead of specification.
Developed with design partner Cyon Agency, the site empowers James Latham’s influencers and purchasers to see a wide array of materials, tones and colours under a variety of lighting conditions on different building types.
Featuring leading brands such as Accoya, Shou Sugi Ban, and James Latham’s own Finish Line collection, users have a near unrivalled scope and freedom to see what the exterior finish of their development will actually look like.
