At Resco, we understand that the foundation of excellence in resin-bound applications lies in the quality of the aggregates used. This is why we have forged a lasting partnership with GranTex, a division of Long Rake Spar – a company with a rich heritage stretching back over 150 years in the supply of specialist dried aggregates.
The GranTex Legacy: Established in the heart of Derbyshire Peak District in 1867, Long Rake Spar has become synonymous with the highest standards of mining and aggregate supply. This legacy began with the extraction of lead and has evolved to focus on the key strengths of supplying the most extensive range of quality decorative aggregates currently available in the UK.
Long Rake Spar, and its acclaimed GranTex line, is not just a supplier; it is an industry pioneer with a reputation for exceptional customer service and a product range that has stood the test of time. From the local lead mines of Youlgrave to the present-day provision of specialist dried aggregates for industrial markets, GranTex has been an unwavering presence.
