Second factory boosts production
» » POLYFRAME HAS
launched into its second major
investment programme since
becoming part of the Customade
Group - this time to expand
its 50,000-square foot site in
Livingston and boost production
of PVCu frames by more than 30
per cent.
Polyframe Livingston has made
a £750,000 investment into plant
and new machinery to help it
satisfy growing market demand
and increase production on the
site from 1,500 to 2,000 frames
a week on a single shift basis.
Polyframe Livingston is Scotland’s
largest trade fabricator and the
biggest fabricator of Veka PVCu
frames north of the border.
The move at Livingston swiftly
follows the announcement by
Polyframe that it had embarked
on an ambitious investment into
additional production space and
new machinery at its Norwich
site. Output at Norwich will
increase substantially from 4,500
frames a week to 7,000 frames a
week.
115 people are currently
employed on the Livingston
site, with 75 staff working in the
factory. The enhanced Livingston
site will manufacture the
complete range of VEKA PVCu
windows and doors.
Every product fabricated
at the Livingston site is fully
traceable from the moment
manufacture begins until delivery
of the finished product to the
customer.
