Edinburgh Asphalt is open for business

Hillhouse Group's new asphalt production facility at Soutra Mains Quarry is now operational, marking an important milestone in the development of our construction materials operations across the east of Scotland.

Following months of construction, commissioning and preparation, Edinburgh Asphalt has begun producing and supplying materials to customers across the region.

The opening represents a significant investment in our long-term capabilities, strengthening our ability to support customers across Edinburgh, the Lothians, Scottish Borders and the wider Central Belt.

Strengthening our regional capability

Located within our established Soutra Mains Quarry in Midlothian, Edinburgh Asphalt complements existing aggregate, ready-mix concrete and concrete block operations, bringing together a comprehensive range of construction materials at one strategically located site.

Alongside our established asphalt facilities in Troon, Glasgow and Alloa, the new plant extends our production network and supports greater geographical coverage for customers working across Scotland.

For existing customers, this means access to Hillhouse asphalt supply across a wider area, supported by familiar commercial relationships and established Group expertise. For new customers, Edinburgh Asphalt provides an additional local supply option, backed by experienced people, modern production facilities and a commitment to quality and service.

More than a new asphalt plant

The successful opening of Edinburgh Asphalt reflects the combined efforts of teams across Hillhouse Group and the contribution of our specialist project partners.

In our accompanying film, Craig Kirkland, Commercial Director, reflects on the significance of the development, the people who brought the project to life and the opportunities it creates for the wider business.

Craig also explains why the long-term success of Edinburgh Asphalt will be measured by more than production volumes. Building strong relationships with customers, understanding their requirements and consistently delivering quality products and dependable service will remain central to our approach.

Looking ahead

With Edinburgh Asphalt now operational, our attention turns to supporting new and existing customers across the region.

Whether supplying major infrastructure projects, planned surfacing programmes or smaller local works, our commercial and operational teams are ready to discuss customer requirements and help plan their material supply.
