Global from the UK to the Middle East , which still achieves faster lead times than locally . Indeed , most bespoke doors and windows are manufactured on a four-to-eight week lead time , while we manufacture ours on a 24-hour lead time . This means that we could establish sales offices and showrooms in the Middle East through partner networks and promptly deliver orders the next day , week , or month , positioning us as a quicker-to-market option compared to local manufacturers .
“ On the other hand , the US represents a slightly different and larger market for us . We have established a manufacturing footprint there with a factory in Florida and another in Lancaster , Pennsylvania . Nonetheless , we export our extrusions by utilizing the bar lengths we have in the UK , sending them to the US , and then fabricating the products specifically for the American market . I find the US market to be a particularly interesting opportunity as there is a common perception that the US is ahead of Europe in various aspects , but the reality is that the UK and Europe are ten years ahead of what the American market expects in terms of doors and windows . This has positioned us as a significant disruptive force in the US market . While the Middle East and the US are focal points for our growth strategy , Europe represents more of an organic growth trajectory for us . We do receive interest in our products in Europe but as there are other brilliant companies offering similar products in that market , our growth in Europe is more organic in nature ,” he concludes .
From humble beginnings in bi-fold doors to a diversified product portfolio available internationally , Origin has established itself as an industry leader renowned for its data-driven innovation and dedication to British craftsmanship . ■
