The group serve clients from Dorchester down as far as the Cornish border, as well as a variety of markets including trade, retail and social housing.

Tremco illbruck helped Glass and Sealed Units design and structure the financing of a comprehensive glass line capable of producing up to 1,000 sealed units per week. Within this flow optimised operation, Tremco Illbruck’s high performance Duralite warm edge spacer bar system is introduced using a special application tool; positioning the two panes at the correct distance apart.
