Aluplast has reported that it has seen demand rocket in the first quarter of 2022. Its sales were up by 40% on the same period in 2021, according to Aluplast’s representative, which has coincided with the European systems company’s 40th anniversary celebrations.
A new production facility in Poland will come on line at the end of the summer, which is set to support this significant growth. Aluplast is currently building a new £26m extrusion facility on a 15-hectare site at Nagradowice, Poland. The site is set to include a production hall, a raw material mixing plant and technical and research and development facilities.
Servicing the UK and Europe, the new facility is set to house up 50 twin extrusion lines, which would double Aluplast’s manufacturing capacity. It is scheduled to come online in August this year.
According to Ian Cocken, director of sales and marketing, an increasing number of fabricators across Europe turned to the systems company for energy-efficient sustainable products as many markets struggled with post-pandemic demand. “More companies want to sell Aluplast products,” he said. “Our flush sash in particular has been of interest.
“It sums up the strengths within the brand. For example, it is a modern design that fits comfortably with heritage and contemporary projects and wide choice of foils.”
