Sheerframe invests to enhance customer offering
8th July 2014

Sheerframe, part of the Litchfield Group, has recently made a number of significant investments in its Nether Heage manufacturing site near Derby. Gary Doxey, Sheerframe’s Marketing Manager said, “We’ve invested in several key areas in order to improve efficiencies and extend our environmental commitments.”

Firstly the company has invested heavily in new extrusion dies. Gary says, “We believe in continual investment in plant and machinery to ensure we’re using state of the art equipment that maximises our efficiencies and enhances the quality and consistency of our products. This approach helps secure our own reputation as well as the reputation of our customers.”

Alongside the investment in extrusion technology, Sheerframe has also been investing to ensure that it extends its commitment to the environment in all areas of the business.

Gary explains, “We believe in producing environmentally sustainable windows and doors and that means examining all areas of the business to make sure they measure up. All our products for the UK market are manufactured in the UK to reduce transport emissions. They are also 100% lead free in composition and only contain calcium organic stabilisers. But we also need to consider the environmental impact of our manufacturing processes. We have recently set even more stringent KPIs in relation to our environmental commitments and have made changes and investments to help meet these. We have recently introduced a new heating management system that will dramatically reduce our CO2 emissions. We have also changed the way we manage our waste to ensure that nothing goes to landfill.”
