Liniar fabricator Window Supply Company (WSC) aims to more than treble its capacity with the investment of £1.2M in new machinery to be commissioned at a dedicated new 105,000 sqft manufacturing plant in central Scotland.
WSC will relocate its headquarters and manufacturing operations to a dedicated new facility five times the size of the current plant and The new Heartlands site boasts a location next to the M8 motorway with accessible transport links to its branches in Aberdeen, Bellshill, Dundee, Livingston and Loanhead.
The company is seeking to hire an additional 60 window and door fabricators to support the expansion, bringing the total employee headcount to over 200. Due to the size and scale of the project, relocation will proceed in staged phases over the coming months.
Two new Avantek fully automatic Supercut 6 machining and cutting centres will be installed and commissioned in the early stages of the relocation. This will take the number of Supercuts at WSC to four, all accommodated in the new factory.
CEO Duncan Murray said: “Looking back at when we started less than three years ago, it’s incredible to think of the progress we have made, particularly as for two years we have operated under a global pandemic. To continue to expand and service our customers we need the infrastructure and technology in place to future-proof our journey. This move represents our progress to date and will be used as a platform for growth in the next stage of our journey.”
This investment comes after WSC recently announced the appointment of Victorian Sliders co-founder Sarah Starkey as Sales Director – England as the company expands operations South of the border and into Northern England.
