Blind Systems our factories,” Andrew shares.“ We purchase electricity from renewable sources where possible, and we use an energy monitoring system to ensure optimal usage.
“ In the factory, we have several processes and plans, such as segregated waste streams and partnerships with disposal partners to ensure we optimize our recyclable materials. When it comes to packaging, our plastic packaging and wrapping from suppliers contains a minimum of 20 percent recycled post-consumer material, and although we use cardboard packaging for most products, we’ re constantly reviewing the protective elements with an aim to be completely plastic free by 2030.”
Speaking with Andrew shows that Decora is clearly on a growth journey in terms of both products and markets, with complementary companies across the Mzuri Group.“ 2026 will be a year of planned growth and further investment, including the expansion of a fifth line in Hampton shutters and further growth
of our Huddersfield site to expand our short lead time and priority services,” Andrew shares.
“ We want to focus on continuing to be as easy as possible to work with and the supplier of choice to our trade customers. We’ ve reevaluated what’ s important to our customers, and we’ re bringing our customer call center back in house, as well as extending our phoneline operating hours, extending our no quibble policies, and investing in user-friendly portals and systems.
“ As part of the Mzuri Group, the group’ s journey will evolve over the next five years as they continue to acquire companies,” Andrew concludes.“ However, Decora will continue in the same vein; reinvest in our products, develop new systems, adopt leaner production processes to mitigate labor shortages, and continue to service our customer base to the best of our ability.” ■
