contents In this work, we provide the first example of an infinite family of branch groups in the class of non-contracting self-similar groups. We show that these groups are very strongly fractal, not regular branch, and of exponential growth. Further, we prove that these groups do not have the congruence subgroup property by explicitly calculating the structure of their rigid kernels. This class of groups is also the first example of branch groups with non-torsion rigid kernels. As a consequence of these results, we also determine the Hausdorff dimension of these groups.
