Russetts Developments Ltd (RDL) is a family business which was formed in 1982 and began operating from a “starter” unit in Wymbush, Milton Keynes with a total of two full time and two part time staff (the owners and their wives). During the following years we have moved twice and currently operate from two adjoining factories with a total area of 14,000 square feet. We now have a total workforce numbering 22 personnel.
In the early days the majority of our manufacturing output was for the aquatic trade in the form of rolls and pre-packed liners fabricated in Butyl rubber and PVC but over the years many other products and services have added to our range. These include, EPDM rubber pond liners, tank liners, surge arrest bladders, pond pumps, lined galvanized corrugated steel tank kits and a bespoke tailored on site TPO lining service.
We have a renowned reputation of being the country’s leading supplier of rubber tank liners to the fire protection industry. We strived to continuously improve and update our tank lining products and as a result we can proudly claim to be the first rubber tank liner manufacture to introduce the steel eyelet to the top circumference of the tank liner to co-inside with the bolt pitch of the tank panels. This vastly improved the installation and security of the hanging liner and was eagerly copied by other tank liner manufacturers and has now become the tank lining industry’s standard method of circular tank liner installation. We were also the first tank lining supplier to introduce the full one piece stitched geotextile protective matting bag. This was designed to protect the liner from extreme heat and cold temperatures radiated through the tank panel sheets and to protect the liner during tank installation and to cushion the liner from floating ice damage. This product has not only been copied by other tank lining suppliers but has been used extensively throughout Europe Asia and Africa, providing continuous protection to our tank liners in all types of extreme weather conditions.
Over the years our name has become synonymous with quality and service and we are proud to have several customers who have been dealing with us since year one!
With a management team boasting a combined total of almost 180 years experience in our industry it is hardly surprising that our products are in use in over 80 countries worldwide.
Russetts Developments Ltd also has a shareholding in Southland Liners (Australia) Pty. Ltd. www.southlandliners.com.au
