» ICOTHERM IS ONCE again on the move .

Following a year that stretched the business , Icotherm Roof Systems is relocating its production line to a different , much larger unit in Blackburn .

Anne-Marie Busch , Commercial Manager , comments : “ We will now have a dedicated production facility of 17500 sq feet , which is being set up by Darren Lahera , well know in this industry for setting up highly efficient production lines .

“ We will be increasing our production capacity , with added workstations , a dedicated line for Icospan , our flat roof , a new welding facility to better service our steel requirements , and a new loading bay will be added .

“ This move culminated with the recommissioning of our machining centre , which nearly looks too small in this great new space .”

Icotherm Roof Systems - a member of TRADA and ISO 9001:2015 certified - will carry

on working from its HQ address at Shadsworth Business Park in Blackburn , where we will focus our new product development efforts , training , and eventually a

showroom , where we will be able to welcome customers in a safe environment .

Taking place on Thursday , October 21 at Edgbaston Stadium and Conference Centre ,

Birmingham , the Glazing Summit will welcome some of the industry ’ s biggest brands for a day of discussion and debate

on the biggest issues facing the industry .

Window Ware ’ s MD Sam Nuckey , who spoke at the first

Glazing Summit , said : “ After such a fantastic event in 2019 , it was a real shame the Glazing Summit couldn ’ t continue its upward trajectory last year .
