Fletcher Building splits building products division

Fletcher Building's new chief executive, Jonathan Ling, today announced a rejig of the building products division.

The reorganisation had created a new steel division comprising the rollforming and coating, long steel products and EasySteel business units.

The building products division will include the insulation, metal roof tiles, plasterboard business units, plus the aluminium, sinkware and access flooring businesses.

Mr Ellis, general manager of Winstone Aggregates, had been with Fletcher Building for 16 years.
