AluFold Direct has begun to offer a confidential outsourcing service to other fabricators who don’t want the hassle or overheads of making their own aluminium frames.
Several major fabricators have already signed up to the service either to supplement or replace their own output. Managing director Russell Yates said: “We never reveal the names of the fabricators who use our manufacturing services, but it is mostly PVC-U specialists who have aluminium as part of their product offering.
“They have looked at the market in 2023, analysed their costs, and judged that they can actually improve their margins right across the board by concentrating on PVC-U and leaving all their aluminium production to us.
“We also currently have fabricators who are just outsourcing a portion of their output to us to cope with peaks in demand, and we obviously work with them to quote according to volumes. The size of our factory and the investments we’ve made in automation since I joined in 2020 mean we have plenty of scalable capacity still available to take on even fairly high-volume third-party.”
The service includes packaged unbranded products and delivery in unmarked vans.
