Production

Our own machines, our own people, and control of every stage.

Our modern 3-acre manufacturing facility in West Bromwich gives us the space, infrastructure and production capability to manufacture across our full product range in-house. With a continuous R&D programme and our own machinery, we have the capacity to hold strong stock levels, maintain consistent quality and continue to develop products that meet the evolving demands of UK infrastructure.

Moving to the three-acre site, and the investment in machinery that followed, took us from 13 machines to 27 — including larger injection moulding machines that let us make bigger products than we could before, and hold deeper stock of everything else.

Sustainability

A product that closes the loop.

Our products are manufactured in the UK from recycled materials, and every product is fully recyclable at end of life. Local production means shorter supply chains, fewer delivery miles and a reduced carbon footprint for the customers and projects we supply.
