We're Ramping Up Our Warm Edge Production and Increasing Our IG Component Stockholding

Thermoseal Group Logo

Dear Ms Hill,

Introducing Our New UK 2-Acre Centre for Innovation and Manufacturing

Our new UK site on Challenge Way, Martland Park in Wigan, which is a stones-throw from our other main manufacturing and warehouse sites, will now be our ‘Centre for Innovation and Manufacturing’. With BREXIT imminent, it has also become a primary site to house increased stockholding of raw materials and finished goods. 

 

We have invested significant additional funds in the extensive reconstruction of the building to accommodate a raft of new equipment to further automate and increase our Thermobar and Thermoflex Warm Edge Spacer production capacity. 

 

We now operate from over 400,000 sq. ft. across our 4 UK locations. See the below sub-articles for more about our new building, facilities and how this will help us to grow and improve.

A Fresh New Feel

Our new building has seen a complete renovation of the office and warehouse space.

 

The interior has seen an extensive reconstruction
and it now has fresh new look with bright open spaces,
clean white walls and wooden flooring.


There are now a number of new meeting rooms to welcome guests. This site will now be our main Centre for Innovation and Manufacturing.

Technical Information

 

Expansion of Our Technical Centre

There are two large laboratories on this site and a
number of rooms for batch testing and to conduct EN1279 tests to ensure our products will perform to industry standards throughout the lifetime of the double glazing unit.

 

This site will house our Technical Team and all the equipment and facilities they need to develop new products whilst also quality testing our own-manufactured and brought-in goods.

Ramping Up Our Thermoflex Capacity

Thermoflex production has been moved in to the new
building and is now running on site.  Our new set-up will significantly increase production capacity to meet the growing demand for the product.


By the end of next year, there will be further new equipment and additional online technology to automate and improve online quality checks as production increases.

Welcome to the Group's New Production Project Manager

 

As part of our strategy to become a world leader in the warm edge spacer market, we have employed Mauro Asciona (shown in the image to the right) to oversee Thermoflex Production. He is an Italian-born Mechanical Engineer who moved to an Italian-owned company in the UK to further his international experience in 2016. He has a wealth of experience to bring to the role.


Mauro has a technical background in design and industrial engineering, with practical “hands-on” application of modern production methods in two companies supplying the Automotive Industry. We are delighted to welcome Mauro and look forward to his input.


Mauro tells us: “Thermoseal Group is growing its business very quickly. I find this environment very challenging and motivating and am driven to learn as much as I can as quickly as possible.“

Increased Thermobar Production

There will be two new Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer Bar production lines installed in our new building which will be dedicated to new product development and testing.

 

The rest of the Thermobar Warm Edge Spacer Production will continue in our existing building in Amber Court for the foreseeable future.

Greater Capacity for Stockholding

 

We have long-been preparing for inevitable delays at ports in the new year (which have already begun), so have built up vast quantities of stock to ensure we maintain continuity of supply on our core own-manufactured products, as well as brought-in goods such as sealant and desiccant.

 

In addition, where we see possible issues in sourcing other insulated glass components, we have secured dual supply.

Improved Facilities for Staff

As Investors in People, we haven't forgotten about our staff in the reconstruction of our new building. With increasing production and the introduction of more shifts, it's important that our staff are comfortable.

 

As we move our staff in, it has been great to see their response to the large canteen areas, locker rooms and showers for them to use before and/or after their long shifts.
