£500k invested - and a system changeover
8th November 2016

South West trade supplier and long-standing Epwin customer FAB FRAMES, has invested £500,000 in new machinery in a move that coincided with changeover to Profile 22’s new Optima system.

Fab Frames Managing Director, Mike Taylor explained: “As we made the changeover, we invested heavily into our machinery, with 500k worth of new machines from Germany. These have now spread us over six factories totalling 11,000 square feet. Covering every aspect of the fabrication process, from welding to CNC machines, the new machinery has seen our capacity increase to 600 frames per week, and we can now offer a one day turnaround on emergency windows as we are open 24 hours a day, six days a week. We have also increased our employees from 80 to 110, which has been a real boost for the local area.”

Fab Frames supplies PVC-U windows, doors and conservatories to the trade from its Newton Abbot headquarters and is an exclusive supplier of Solidor for the entire South West region. Fully Kitemarked and Secured by Design on their product range, Fab Frames has recently been awarded a further five year contract with their local council.
