New system to mark 30th anniversary
31st May 2016

THE VEKA UK GROUP is to officially unveil its new M70 profile system as part of the celebrations marking 30 years of manufacturing in the UK.

MD Dave Jones, who has been with the company for 22 of its 30 years said: “Over the years, we have continuously invested in plant, people and technology to maintain our industry-leading position. In 2014, we invested £5m in building the country's most technically advanced mixing plant here at our Burnley HQ, which has a potential capacity of 72,000 tonnes and allows The Veka UK Group to have even greater control over quality, service and efficiency.

Business Secretary Vince Cable attended the official opening and described the addition of this state-of-the-art plant as 'a European success story'.

“After three decades of UK design and manufacture, we have absolutely no intention of slowing down. At this year's FIT Show, we were proud to unveil a host of innovative, new systems and services that received extremely positive feedback and are already being adopted by fabricators up and down the country.

“The entire team works so hard that, in my opinion, it's no surprise that The Veka UK Group claimed Burnley's 'Business of the Year' Award once again at the end of last year.

“We've achieved a huge amount in the past 30 years, and we have lots of developments in the pipeline for the next 30 years. We continue to proudly invest in UK manufacturing, striving to unveil more innovative and energy-efficient products than ever before.”

The group will also mark the anniversary with a staff event at Burnley FC's Turf Moor, including a visit from Global Veka Group CEO Andreas Hartleif, a promotion in the local paper, and a family fun day at the plant.
