Five-fold factory growth for aluminium
3rd January 2017

ASTRASEAL has multiplied its aluminium capacity five-fold with a move to a new 25,000qsft factory dedicated to fabricating the material.

The move, from a 5,000sqft section of its main PVC-U factory, is in response to growing demand for aluminium as well as an increasing portfolio of aluminium products.

“Demand for aluminium has exploded in the last few years,” said marketing manager Zac Nedimovic, “Once, aluminium windows weren’t great – offering poor thermal efficiency, for example. Since the development of the polyamide thermal break, that’s completely changed. Another major factor has been the ability to provide aluminium in a huge range of colours, making it a fashionable, high status material frequently used in Grand Designs-style home improvement projects.”

He added that the move will also streamline production across the whole business.
