300% growth
January 2018

Customade Group is investing £250,000 in a new factory to increase window production by its REAL ALUMINIUM subsidiary in response to sales growth of more than 300% in a little over 18 months.

The 23,000ft2 factory at Stonehouse in Gloucestershire will bring its manufacturing space to 75,000 ft2 and is expected to increase aluminium window production by 60% to 800 frames per week, while capacity for aluminium bi-folding doors will increase to 300 doors per week. The investment in plant and machinery will also create 40 new jobs for local people.

Customade Group chief operating officer Nick Gibbons (pictured) explained the reasons behind the investment: 
“Aluminium is dominant in the industry and consumer desire for it is showing no signs of slowing down. The number of installers offering aluminium has risen by more than 40% in the last five years and demand for products like sliding and bi-folding doors is predicted to rise once again in 2018.

“Market intelligence tells us that there is a very strong future ahead for aluminium and we’re delighted to be investing in our capability and creating a number of new jobs for people.”
