Sternfenster ’ s new aluminium factory will open in November
A RECORD £ 4MILLION INVESTED THIS YEAR
»»
IN LINE WITH ITS commitment to constantly improve customer support , streamline production , further reduce lead times and add more product choice for its trade customers , Lincoln-based Sternfenster has invested over £ 4million this year .
A substantial part of the investment was directed at a brand new , dedicated aluminium window and door factory , due to open in November . The plant is a response to the booming demand for aluminium products , and will house state-of-the-art production lines and a powder-coating facility acquired by the fabricator earlier this year . When completed , the factory will provide an additional 25,000 sq . ft . of manufacturing space on top of the existing 80,000 sq . ft ., as well 11,000 sq . ft . of ultra-modern office space .
“ One of our main objectives this year has been to lay the foundations for future growth ,” explained Sternfenster MD , Mike Parczuk . “ We ’ ve made major investments to both expand and streamline our operations , including bringing services like powder-coating for aluminium in-house to cut costs and deliver quicker lead times to our trade customers .”
So far , 2016 has seen a significant expansion in the company ’ s already extensive product portfolio . StyleLine
FS , the latest addition to the company ’ s premium PVCu StyleLine range , allows installers to earn considerably more on every flush sash job . “ It costs a fraction of the trade price installers are used to paying for a product of this kind ,” said Mike . “ What ’ s more , it is also a very attractive flush sash window , with unique features that have a strong appeal to the end-user – so very easy to sell ,” added Mike .
To further enable trade customers to take advantage of the lucrative timber effect market , Sternfenster has also introduced the Residence Collection , and now offers R7 and R8 alongside its well-established R9 portfolio . The fabricator has also strengthened its patio door offering with Deceuninck ’ s Slider24 .
Products aside , Sternfenster is investing in future-proofing all aspects of the business . Mike said : “ We ’ ve been in this business for over 40 years , we think long-term and focus on the big picture , rather than maximising shortterm gains .
“ One of our latest investments has seen the installation of a solar energy system , which is now providing us with 10 % of our annual electricity consumption ,” added Mike .
