Barnsley Storming
Glazerite is currently manufacturing 500 frames per week at its Barnsley manufacturing site just 18 months of the facility opening.
The trade fabricator’s North Division took the new factory from an empty shell into a live fabrication site in just 84 days. “To go from a standing start to fully functional within 12 weeks, and 0 to 500 frames per week within 18 months, is a considerable accomplishment,” said Darren Rhodes, the managing director for Glazerite’s North Division.
“We’re very proud of the whole team for all the hard work and effort they put in to make that happen within such a short space of time.”
Deceuninck
The 30,000sq.ft Barnsley facility, located in Darton, is dedicated to the manufacture of Deceuninck products, including its 2500 and 2800 system casements and tilt and turn windows, as well as composite, residential and French doors.
Set up to meet Glazerite’s increased commercial demand, the fabricator chose to work with Deceuninck because of its strong product and service offering and extensive commercial expertise.
"At Glazerite, we like to work with like-minded partners and Deceuninck’s commitment to quality matches our own,” added Rhodes.
"Products like the Chamfered 2500 offer low U-values and are designed to maximise energy efficiency and security, so they’re very appealing to housebuilders and developers.
“Combine that with all the colour options, an OTIF of 98% and the benefit of a dedicated commercial department – and you’ve got an offer that’s hard to refuse.
“With our Barnsley site fully established and the right support in place, we’re well positioned to expand our presence in the commercial sector while continuing to deliver the strong customer service and quality products we pride ourselves on.”
