‘On course for £200million’
13th March 2018

CUSTOMADE GROUP has rounded off a year since its Polyframe merger by declaring that it is on course to double its scale to become a £200 million business.

David Leng, the former Synseal Group’s chief executive who joined Customade Group in February, said: “It’s been a terrific first year for the group, which has made a string of major investments in the last year and affirmed its position as the industry’s largest fabricator. There have been many landmark achievements for the group with major investment, product development, top industry award wins and growing national presence to name just a few – and we’re now ready for the next exciting stage.

“The group has an enormous capacity for further growth and an appetite for improvement and I believe it will double in size to become a £200 million business within the next few years. We have some bold plans for the future and a team of 900 people to deliver our growth strategy. I’m very much looking forward to building on the scale and strength of the group to help it fulfil its potential.”

An investment programme of £2.5 million across several manufacturing sites has significantly increased Customade Group’s capabilities and doubled production output. Three of the group’s nine sites, in Livingston, Gloucester and Norwich have recently expanded to cater for increased demand across both PVCu and aluminium and the group has welcomed more than 500 new customers on board and will roll out a number of new products nationwide during the year to come.

David added: “We’re set to grow at phenomenal pace, but our ultimate goal is to be the best that we can be. Investing for the future is fundamental in maintaining our position at the forefront of the industry and this multi-site investment will ensure that customers are well placed to thrive in a competitive market.

“The Group is forward thinking and quality driven and new product development is the natural next step for us. Our new innovations are all about anticipating the market and driving long-term growth for installers with a range of fenestration products, profiles, materials and price points that guarantee good margins. This year will be a big year for Customade Group and its customers and you can expect to see more exciting new developments coming soon.”

Customade Group is a collective of specialised companies with a combined product portfolio with brands including Real Aluminium, Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions, Polyframe and Virtuoso Doors.
