Glazerite UK Group has announced plans for nearly £1million of key investments at three of its sites.
The company’s North West Division is soon to gain new manufacturing equipment, enabling the Bolton site to increase capacity and extend its capability. The includes a Pertici V-Notch saw, a Pertici double head mitre saw, and a Stuga ZX5S sawing and machining centre.
The fabricator’s Midlands Division in Wellingborough is set to gain a new Digi-X Auto Bead Saw and an Urban Corner Cleaner, while its Peterborough-based East Division is taking receipt of a Pertici double head mitre saw to use on its Halo range.
Glazerite North West MD Darren Rhodes said: “By adding more machinery and replacing older equipment, we’re able to increase capacity and improve flexibility across our operations, which will ultimately benefit our customers. The new Stuga ZX5S will increase capacity by a third while the Pertici double head mitre saws allow for greater accuracy and removes manual processes. Our new equipment will give us better control, accuracy in use, and increased capacity while improving quality for our installers.”
Glazerite also has plans to enhance its fleet of delivery vehicles this year and continues to invest in its people, with a management training programme for its workforce about to be rolled out.
Darren added: “Our investment programme underlines our ambitions and continues in spite of the backdrop of rising prices and escalating raw material and labour costs. Glazerite is in it for the long haul; that means we’ll continue to pour investment into our operations so that we can provide our customers with the highest quality products and exceptional service they need to succeed in their own markets.”
