We have analyzed the markets that we ’ re currently in and looked over the new ones that we ’ re aiming for , and ultimately tried to expand what we can do in terms of what we are offering our customers , considering our range , production times and costs . We ’ ve made a number of investments for the future , it ’ s time to modernize the plant a bit more .

“ We are now a Qualicoat-approved applicator for architectural coatings – moving our work a step above the previous approvals that allowed us to offer certain warranties . Qualicoat is an independent organization that offers extensive quality monitoring , which our guys ’ efforts passed first time , so we ’ re very proud of the work that they ’ ve put in . Alongside this , we have made significant investments into robotics to help increase the productivity of our lines .”
