INVESTMENT SUPPORTS CONTINUED GROWTH
» ALUMINIUM FABRICATOR Fentrade has recently invested in new manufacturing machinery to support its continued growth . Chris Reeks , Fentrade ’ s
Director , said : “ The new machinery enhances quality and production flow across the board . It also means we can cut a wider variety of shaped profiles , which will help support the growth we ’ re experiencing in shaped gable frames on residential extensions .”
The company has taken delivery of an Elumatec TS161 / 21 Table Saw , complete with roller conveyors . It has also added another bead station , which will support fabrication of the newly introduced Reynaers CP130 sliding patio range and the Jack Aluminium SD70 Heritage Door .
Green award goes to Gloucester
The investment in new machinery is being coupled with new staff to help handle the increased demand . Three new fabricators have been taken on in the factory and a part time support role has been created in the office .
Chris said : “ Our success has been built on exceptional products backed up with attentive service on reliable turnaround times . These latest investments will enable us to continue to meet these demanding standards , even as we continue to grow .”
