50 % Capacity added with half a million investment in machinery
» AT A TIME WHEN A LOT OF COMpanies are still cautious about spending , Apeer , the high quality , contemporary composite door manufacturer , isn ’ t holding back and is pleased to announce a combined investment of over £ 500K in a cutting centre , corner cleaner , and foam press . The addition of the latest foam press alone gives the company a further 50 % capacity and allows the market-leading 120mm thick Residence Door Collection to have its own dedicated foam press .
Apeer ’ s Managing Director , Asa McGillian explains why the company has invested
so significantly : “ The Residence Door Collection has always offered the market something special , but we are constantly looking for more ways to deliver excellence . This latest investment is no different . The new machinery allows us to grow our portfolio , boost output and fulfil the increasing demand for our ground-breaking 120mm thick , 0.51w / m 2 k u-value , Passive House Compliant , Residence Door Collection . It also supports our ongoing program of streamlining production to deliver the consistent high quality that our diligent customers have come to expect .
“ We have purchased a Stuga PVC Sawing and Machining Centre that includes a software upgrade , an SCM Accord 25FX CNC Router with tooling and Jumbo Ergo vacuum lifter and jib crane , and an Urban SV-530 CNC corner cleaner . All of which means we now have a total of ten CNCs and three foam presses to ensure we can meet the increasing demand
for our unique offering . The collection of new machinery allows us the all-important ability to simultaneously cut both sides of the profile , as well as even greater accuracy , ease of use with advanced software , continued top quality production , and greater flexibility .
Asa concludes : “ The last few years haven ’ t been easy and that has meant a lot of companies withdrawing from further investment until the market stabilises . However , with more stringent legislation on the horizon , we believe it ’ s important to continue to invest to keep delivering what our customers need to stay compliant and of course competitive .”
