The open day events were held at the company ’ s IG Doors new 200,000 sq . ft manufacturing plant located in Oakdale , with sessions being held over three days . Over 90 existing and prospective customers , along with members of the press attended and were able to tour the highly automated manufacturing facility .

The day started with a short presentation on the history and the capabilities of IG Doors , together with a brief introduction to the comprehensive Hörmann Truedor range of doors . This was followed by a tour of the on-site showroom which featured not just an extensive display of composite doors but also the company ’ s Platinum44 steel doors , Ignis30 fire door

and the Clima63 – a thermally efficient composite door which is able to achieve a U value of 1 W / M 2 K and below .

Hörmann Truedor hold a unique position in the market by supplying the only GRP composite door to feature a door slab totally produced in the UK , which means they can ensure consistent quality and

secure supply . The addition of local , short supply lines and advanced manufacturing methods results in one of the most sustainable doors on offer . Visitors were able to see first-hand the whole manufacturing process from the creation of the complete door slab , paint , assembly and finishing , right through to despatch , with experts

from both the Hörmann and IG teams on hand to answer questions .

Commenting on the events , David O ’ Mara Marketing Manager for Hörmann Truedor , “ We were delighted by the attendance at the Open Days with new and existing customers joining us from all over the country , with one company even visiting from Shetland . I can confidently say that everyone who went on the factory tour were impressed by the scale of the plant , the levels of automation and the expertise on show , and being able to see the actual production of a door slab was a first for all concerned .

“ In fact , the six sessions we held were such a success and Hörmann Truedor have such a positive and compelling message to convey to the market , we are planning further Open Events in the Spring of 2024 , dates of which will be announced in due course . So , as they say , watch this space .”
