Made for Trade has announced a major expansion of its UK operations with the addition of Dimensions House, a 110,496 sq ft facility in Northampton that will become a key production, distribution and showroom site for the business. The site investment is complemented by another significant investment in Schirmer machinery to improve the quality of already industry leading production. The new premises will support Made for Trade’ s continued growth by increasing production capacity, improving distribution efficiency and strengthening service levels for customers across the UK.

Dimensions House has been selected as a strategically important location for the business. With a significant proportion of Made for Trade’ s customer base located outside its North East manufacturing base, the Northampton site will allow the company to operate a more efficient national distribution model, with larger trunking runs into the hub and smaller, more frequent delivery routes from the site.

This hub-and-spoke approach will improve delivery efficiency, reduce pressure on existing operations and support a faster, more responsive service for trade customers.

Midlands showroom

The facility will also include a dedicated showroom, which will be used to onboard new accounts and introduce customers to the company’ s expanding product range. The showroom will also be available for Made for Trade customers to use when presenting Korniche products to their own end users, giving trade partners a professional environment in which to demonstrate the quality, design and performance of the range.

Expanded aluminium range

Dimensions House will play a central role in Made for Trade’ s future product strategy. The site is planned to become the production facility for the upcoming Korniche Window, an all-aluminium

product designed to redefine the UK aluminium window sector through innovation, installation simplicity, strong thermal performance, competitive pricing, high stock availability and short lead times.
