Durham-based aluminium bi-fold hardware supplier AT Precision has invested £110K in new machinery including a CNC vertical machining centre, an 8-head tapping machine and three new saws.
Sales director Michael Hewitt said: “We’ve seen an increased demand for aluminium products across the board, especially for bi-folds and patio doors, meaning demand for our products has also soared.
“Future proofing the business by investing in new machinery is a vital step in meeting this demand and continuing to deliver the best quality products our customers are used to, matched with excellent service and competitive lead times.”
The new suite of machinery is the latest in a series of investments by the company, following the addition of plastic ancillaries, espagnolette window handles, security hardware, as well as aluminium profile, to its wide range.
AT Precision manufactures the Everglide range of bi-fold hardware, which includes rollers, top guides, pull handles, hinges, cleats and shootbolt handles, as well as the Everseal range of wedge, captive, flipper and bubble gaskets.
