Aluplast invests to double
extrusion capacity
2nd July 2019

Aluplast has announced a multi-million-pound investment programme that it says will more than double its extrusion and warehousing capacity in Europe, including the development of a 13 hectare site in Poland and the doubling of capacity at its HQ in Germany.

Director of sales and marketing Ian Cocken said: “The investment aluplast is making delivers direct benefit to its customers here in the UK and Ireland, driving forward global leading product innovation while underpinning it with continuous improvement in quality and service.”

He added that the company processes nearly 200,000 tonnes of PVC-U a year globally to a worldwide customer base manufacturing more than 10million windows per year, yet it remains a family-run and privately-owned business, something he says also delivers major benefits to its customers.

“It’s exceptionally unusual for a privately-owned business to operate on this kind of scale. This, however, delivers multiple benefits to UK and Irish fabricators and installers, first because of the stability it delivers – aluplast doesn’t have to answer to venture capitalists.

“Second, it has the depth of resource to continue to invest in product development regardless of fluctuations in ‘local’ national markets. In short, we’re here for the long term.”
