Gloucestershire-based Melcourt Industries are manufacturers and suppliers of premium quality bark and high quality chipped wood and related wood fibre products.
The Company is one of the UK’s leading producers of organic pathway, play area and equestrian surfacing materials as well as peatfree mulches and growing media; supplying numerous large local authorities, top name stables, market gardens and nurseries.
The Company’s premium chipped bark is marketed extensively under the ‘Melcourt’ brand, as well as being packed as an ‘own-brand’ for some of the UK’s biggest names in retail.
With a range of applications similar to standard grade chipped bark, the premium product is of greater consistency and higher quality. It is used widely in parks as a path dressing and as a soft layer beneath play areas, reducing the risk of injury when children trip or fall.
