Factory Equipment

Unfortunately machinery that completes everything is not profitable to sell, and although upvc window and door CNC machinery can cut and weld with high precision, one still is required to purchase several other key step machines. Instead, a lot of space is filled with equipment, which only completes one or two steps in the process. As part of our continuous development and improvement manufacturing philosophy, we have employed specialist help to not only improve our processes but also the machinery itself, to make for faster and more precise results. Instead of purchasing new machinery that was at best mediocre, we have altered our existing machines locally, and with specific custom features, and we are yet to find machines that can do what ours can with the same price tag.

Of course, being reliant on machines for the most important steps in production of double glazed windows and doors also carries its own risks - the machinery in the main line can break, in this case we have a contingency plan that includes back up machinery, which is fully operational and can be utilised anytime.
