‘ Top-tier products ’ at new in-house powder coating facility

Ben Brocklesby , Director at Origin , the UK ’ s leading manufacturer of aluminium doors and windows , discusses the company ’ s latest development which sets a new industry benchmark .

At Origin , we are always looking for ways to push the boundaries of quality and innovation so installers can continue to deliver top-tier products and services that enhance efficiency , quality , and customer satisfaction . Our latest investment , following the launch of our new products , is set to redefine industry standards . It is our very own in-house powder coating facility .
In a significant move that underscores our unwavering commitment to excellence , we now have complete control over our entire manufacturing process , from raw materials to finished products . By bringing the entire process under one roof , we eliminate our reliance on third party powder coating suppliers . This minimises the chance of errors or damage , and allows us to exceed the industry thinking on quality . Additionally , with everything in our control , our reliability to deliver on time in full to ensure our customers ’ installation schedule goes ahead as planned remains unmatched .
Our new meticulous approach begins with a rigorous mechanical cleaning process . Our unique linishing machine , the only one of its kind in the UK , utilises air , water , and adjustable brushes to eliminate even the slightest imperfections from the aluminium profile . This minimises wastage and is a luxury not available to those buying in painted aluminium . This key stage increases the quality of the material and ensures a pristine surface , which is then ready for our 10-stage , chrome-free , pre-treatment process , which exceeds the industry standard of five to seven stages . This rigorous approach ensures that all aluminium profile is impeccably prepared for the powder coating application , resulting in a finish that is not only aesthetically unrivalled , but is extremely durable and resistant to corrosion .
To meet all customer requirements , there is a range of powder coating options , including Class 1 , 2 , and 3 finishes .
Furthermore , the availability of textured finishes opens up new possibilities for design and customisation , allowing our Partners to create unique and bespoke solutions for their customers .
The benefits of Origin ’ s in-house powder coating facility extend beyond just product quality . This investment means Origin gains increased independence from external powder coaters . With Origin now having full control over its streamlined manufacturing process , it means that Partners can offer their customers a wider range of choices , configurations and colours with total confidence that we ’ ll deliver and the building project will go ahead as scheduled .
Furthermore , as profile will be painted on demand and will be of straight to line quality , it minimises the risk of damage being made during storage . This offers significant quality assurances and operational advantages to its network of Partners across the UK .
The benefits for installers cannot be underestimated . Having access to superior
quality products , unrivalled lead times and enhanced customisation options for a fully bespoke product allows our Partner network to differentiate themselves from competitors . Being able to leverage the reputation Origin has established as a leader in innovation and one synonymous with quality is a powerful asset that can help finalise those all-important sales .
At Origin , we are relentless in our pursuit of perfection . The launch of our own in-house powder coating facility represents a major step-change within the manufacturing industry and is testament to the company ’ s proactive thinking .
By incorporating Origin ’ s high-quality products into their offerings , installers can enhance their reputation , improve efficiency , and ultimately , achieve greater success in an increasingly competitive landscape .
