Leaders of Padiham Glass have invested in an additional automated Super Spacer application line. The move signals renewed commitment to both to state-of-the-art glass manufacturing facilities and to the valued spacer supplier Edgetech, according to the business’ representative.
Padiham Glass, which manufactures insulated glass units (IGUs), is part of the Emplas Group. Founded in 1980, Padiham’s leaders have consistently invested in the business to ensure that customers receive exceptional product quality, they say.
In 2004, Padiham Glass became one of the early adopters of warm edge technology when the firm’s leaders purchased the company’s first Super Spacer automated line. This was part of a wider investment programme that involved the expansion of manufacturing and warehousing space, and the introduction of the business’ second toughening plant.
Additional investments were made when the Emplas Group acquired Padiham Glass in 2018. Today, the company operates a cutting-edge, increasingly automated glass manufacturing facility which has been further modernised by the installation of a brand-new Forel vertical IGU Super Spacer application line, we have been told.
“By constantly investing, Padiham is able to offer customers the highest quality IGUs, consistent lead times and competitive prices,” said John Spiby, the business’ managing director. “The new line will allow us to further expand our operations and bring outstanding IGU products to even more customers around the country.
“We’d like to thank Edgetech for their support. Super Spacer plays an integral role in ensuring that our units offer consistency, longevity and superb overall performance.”
Tony Palmer, Edgetech’s head of sales, added: “It’s hugely gratifying for us to see Padiham Glass continue to thrive and grow. Their commitment to investment and innovation has meant they’ve been consistently ahead of the curve, and we’re proud to supply them.
“We look forward to working with them for many years to come.” Padiham manufactures double- and triple-glazed sealed units, using components including glass from Saint-Gobain and Pilkington. Products are finished in low-e coating.
