INSTALLERSUPPORT FORECAST FOR FULL WEATHER PROTECTION THIS WINTER Superb insulation and full weather protection for optimal comfort on site. £250,000 supercharges glass line » VICTORIAN SLIDERS, EUROPE’S biggest sash window manufacturer, has invested over half a million pounds in sealed unit production. Now, with the acquisition of a £250,000 Lisec fully-automated sealed unit line, the company has significantly expanded its glass capacity – just in time for the busiest and most ambitious year in its history. Group Managing Director Andy Jones explains. “A lot of people don’t realise that Victorian Sliders isn’t really a fabricator. Fabricators put together components they’ve bought from elsewhere. At Victorian Sliders, we do it all ourselves – the extruding, the sealed units, the foiling, the painting, the vacuum forming, the recycling, and more. “With the Lisec machine, we’re now able to produce more sealed units, more efficiently – something that will prove vital as we seek to ramp up our volumes in the year ahead. We’ll be investing a further £1.8m, taking our recycling operation to the next level, and unveiling a number of exciting new additions to our product range. It’s that commitment to constant improvement that’s made Victorian Sliders the biggest and best sash window manufacturer in our industry.” www.victoriansliders.co.uk » STREET-SMART, STYLISH LOOKS and market-leading GORE-TEX and 37.5® fabric technology make these jackets and trousers a must for winter on site or for outdoor leisure activities.
