Polyframe Halifax factory
Overview
Company Background
Location
Polyframe, one of the UK’s
largest independent PVC trade
fabricators, is transforming the
way the industry buys windows
and doors by offering the market wide choice in systems, reliable fast service and accessible
pricing. As a result many fabricator-installers have been persuaded to unplug their machines and
plug into Polyframe.
Polyframe has pioneered a
new business model and is a
multi-system, multi-site and multi-material trade fabricator with
a national trade centre network
of Polyframe Trade Centres
(PTCs).
Having grown fast and started
the year with 18 PTCs, Polyframe has recently added a 19th,
Camberley in Surrey. With the
introduction of online ordering
for composite doors, an added sales edge of a new high
security cylinder, the acquisition
of an aluminium factory and
the Stockport branch moving
to larger premises, Polyframe
is paving the way for more
growth.
Established in 1992, Polyframe
has grown rapidly throughout
the recession by targeting small
to medium size fabricators
interested in unplugging their
machines and plugging into
Polyframe, and has continued
its success in recent years by
attracting fabricators of all sizes.
Polyframe is unique in supplying
– and being able to supply – fast
growing trade businesses selling
up to 1,000 frames a week at
peak.
This year, Polyframe expanded its portfolio by acquiring an
aluminium fabricator. The G14
Fabricator of the Year now supplies windows and doors in eight
systems from five state of the
art factories, offering customers choice, quality and reliable
service.
Polyframe’s factories are based
in Norwich, Halifax, Mansfield and
