In 2013 the company purchased an additional 24,000 sq ft building on Wincolmlee, close to its existing site. These premises have become the Company’s Head Office, accommodating its Admin Activities, along with its Double Glazed Unit Line and an additional state of the art Toughening Plant. This moved allowed the original Fountain Road site to become an operation completely dedicated to processing, including its Laminating and Heat Soaking Facilities and a purpose built Paint Booth.
