Aluminium success

 

Lister Trade Frames of Stoke on Trent grew by 17.5% in 2010, a success the company attributes to a venture into aluminium window and door fabrication.

Originally recognising the opportunity aluminium windows and doors offered some two years ago, Listers did an extensive investigation into the best products and methods of manufacture before launching their branded Elitis aluminium range early last year.

Listers looked at the market for aluminium products and at other PVCU fabricators who had tried to enter it and who had failed. They researched suppliers and other well-established aluminium fabricators to get a full picture of what would be required for success. They invested in an aluminium projects manager and a skilled production team. Most recently they have installed a new Elumatec CNC aluminium profile machining centre.

Phil Warren, Lister’s sales director says that sales of Elitis Aluminium windows and doors are now growing steadily month on month providing a new income stream. The company has gained new customers and have worked with some of their existing PVCU customers who are trialling aluminium installation.
