, and market-leading position . This move allows Caldwell to benefit from the endorsement of our global organisation , without compromising its current brand positioning .
“ 2023 marks 50 years since Caldwell expanded its manufacturing into the UK and it has cemented its place as a world-leading window hardware specialist , with over 1 billion balances sold to date .
