Initially established in Huddersfield in 1972, Howarth Timber Engineering developed a strong identity in the north across the key products of Trussed Rafters, Timber Frame and I Beam products. The acquisition in 2003 of Marlows in the south and the establishment of a business at Gloucester in the southwest provides a strong geographical base for future development.
Today
Howarth Timber Engineering is a modern timber engineering business wholly owned by the Howarth Timber Group, a privately owned business established in 1876.
We provide over 250,000 roof trusses each year from our localities at Ashton under Lyne, Huddersfield, Scunthorpe, and Bury St Edmunds. I beam production from Breighton, Gloucester and Bury St Edmunds provides floors/flat roofs for about 12,500 houses each year. Our timber frame production from Breighton and Bury St Edmunds is currently over 1500 houses each year, most of which we supply and erect.
We operate an externally audited Quality Management system to ISO 9001:2000 and product conformity schemes for truss and timber frame. We are also Chain of Custody certified for all the major timber certification schemes.
The Company specialises in these core engineering products and is committed to providing a professional service through its experienced staff. We are currently expanding our business by organic growth achieved through a high level of repeat business and the development of new trading relationships with companies who require a specialist supply partner.
