Fox Group, an integrated construction materials provider headquartered in Blackpool, is continuing the strategic expansion of its aggregates and recycling operations by investing in six Sandvik mobile jaw crushers, supplied by Retec Equipment – the exclusive distributor of Sandvik mobile crushing and screening equipment across the UK and Ireland.
The north west-based business has taken delivery of four Sandvik QJ341 and two Sandvik QJ241 mobile jaw crushers, strengthening its processing capabilities across its sites. The investment reflects increasing demand for high-quality recycled materials and Fox Group’s commitment to supporting sustainable construction across the UK.
“As our recycling and aggregates operations continue to expand, investing in reliable and efficient processing equipment is essential. Retec has been a trusted partner to our business for many years and understands exactly what we require from our equipment,” Fox Group chief executive officer Paul Fox said.
“Sandvik machines are renowned for their excellent performance, and these additional crushers will play an important role in supporting our continued growth across the region.”
The Sandvik QJ341 is widely recognised as one of the industry’s leading mobile jaw crushers, delivering high productivity and reliability in demanding quarrying and recycling applications. The compact QJ241 complements the larger unit, providing flexibility for smaller or more restricted operational environments.
The machines will be used to process primary aggregates alongside recycled construction and demolition materials, supporting Fox Group’s ability to produce high-quality recycled aggregates and sustainable construction materials.
The partnership reflects a long-standing relationship between Fox Group and the Retec team, built on more than 25 years of industry collaboration and technical expertise. Retec Equipment will also provide full aftersales support for the machines, ensuring reliable performance and maximum operational uptime.
“Fox Group is a highly respected and forward-thinking operator within the aggregates and recycling sector, and we are proud to support its continued expansion,” Retec Equipment director Ronan Herity said.
“Our relationship with Paul Fox and his team spans over 25 years and is built on trust, experience and a clear understanding of the company’s operational requirements. The Sandvik QJ341 and QJ241 crushers provide the performance, versatility and efficiency needed to support Fox Group’s growing operations, and our aftersales team will continue to work closely with them to ensure long-term reliability and productivity.”
