‘Biggest of its kind’
6th September 2016

MORLEY GLASS & GLAZING has installed an automated 58-metre long sealed unit production line as part of its £1m move to new premises.

The new 46,000 sq ft premises in Leeds is said to be the world’s largest dedicated factory for manufacturing ScreenLine integral blinds into insulating glass units.

Managing Director Ian Short said: “The new premises give us the opportunity to design the space in exactly the way that we need it to be. It will be a bespoke integral blinds manufacturing facility. We’re investing in the latest automated technology with a new Best Makina fully automatic sealed unit assembly line, which is less labour intensive, improves the efficiency of our production line and enhances the quality of the finished product. It’s capable of producing 3m x 2.5m sealed units and the automation means that there is less handling of the glass – and therefore less potential for damage.

“The new premises also give us the space to increase our product range. We’ll soon be launching fire-rated Uni-Blinds as well as a home automation interface that enables window and door installers to easily incorporate motorised integral blinds within home automation systems.
