Senior Architectural Systems, an aluminum fenestration solutions provider, is set to expand its manufacturing capacity with the opening of a new facility in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.
Located close to Senior’s existing head office and main manufacturing center in Denaby near Doncaster, the new Rotherham site on Mangham Road will provide an additional 90,000 square feet of usable storage and production space.
Increment in Manufacturing Capacity
Together with Senior’s established sites in South Yorkshire and Scotland, the new facility will increase the company’s overall UK manufacturing capacity to 220,000 square feet.
The move is part of Senior’s wider strategic expansion plan to enhance the thermal-efficiency of its entire product range and to significantly increase production of its low U-value and UK patented PURe® aluminum windows and doors system.
Recent updates to Part L of the Building Regulations and the rising cost of energy prices have led to a surge in demand for Senior’s compliant and efficient aluminum fenestrations systems and through the acquisition of the new Rotherham site, Senior will be better placed to continue to meet its customers’ needs.
It is anticipated that Senior will commence production of its PURe® range at the new Rotherham site in early 2023.
Improving Speed of Its In-house Powder Coating Facility
Once the new site is fully operational, Senior will be able to maximize the space in its existing Denaby HQ to both increase the speed of its in-house powder coating facility and support the ongoing development of its full range of high-performance aluminum windows, doors and curtain wall systems.
Commenting, Senior Architectural Systems’ managing director Mark Wadsworth said, “
Since launching our patented PURe® windows and doors in 2015, we have seen demand continuously grow and so it was always our intention to expand our production capabilities.”
“
We are excited to commence production of our PURe® system in the New Year and look forward to maximizing this new capacity to continue to enhance the thermal-performance of our complete range of products,” added Wadsworth.
The new site in Rotherham will also provide valuable storage space to assist with Senior’s nationwide delivery service and coincides with the company’s difficult decision to close its distribution center in Newport, Wales.
