We manufacture a wide range of products using our own recycled material, from cavity closers and vehicle door seals to tree strapping and traffic barriers. These are extruded on site, using tools manufactured in our own tool room. Our toolmaking facility enables us to constantly extend the range of extruded products we make, and to develop bespoke products to meet individual customer specifications.
We have invested £3m in enlarging and upgrading our PVC-U recycling plant at Ilkeston in Derbyshire. This plant now has the capacity to recycle 10,000 tonnes of old PVC-U windows per year, as well as 2,400 tonnes of PVC-U off-cuts. This state-of-the-art recycling facility provides a fast, efficient, accurate waste-processing service for waste companies, waste transfer stations, fabricators, specifiers and local authorities across the UK.
The recycling facility is at the heart of our ‘closed-loop’ recycling process, which turns old window frames and other PVC-U waste into new products – keeping PVC-U out of landfill sites and putting it back into perpetual use.
