The DoorCo team are kickstarting the new year in a “perfect position”, a company statement said.
It stated that the company’s warehouse is fully stocked, there is more capacity coming out of Macclesfield and Doncaster, and product lines have been expanded.
Aaron Williamson, DoorCo’s manufacturing director, said: “As we head into the new year, we’re full of expectations for another year to mirror the last few – challenging yet rewarding for DoorCo and our customers. It’s a vision that only works if you keep moving forward. Our strategy remains to do exactly that, to keep investing and innovating.
“Our Macclesfield hub of warehouses holds up to 60,000 doors and 150,000 FLiP glazing cassettes, and it’s a priority that they remain well stocked in January – a time when stock typically runs low. We’ve heavily invested in bolstered stock levels across our ONE complete product range. This priority will continue throughout the year so we’re always ready to meet our customers’ orders, whenever and however they need our products. We’re intent on offering a seamless and uninterrupted supply of our core products in a variety of stock colours, including Slate and Agate, with good lead times and OTIF levels continuing.”
Mark Towers, DoorCo’s strategic director, added: “Our growth to Doncaster is one of the main catalysts for this expanded capacity. Since we opened Doncaster as the home of BRiTDOR, our first UK-made door, we’ve continued to work closely with our overseas partners to mass produce our ORiGINAL and GRiPCORE doors, but drive Doncaster to be the UK home of manufacturing to supplement production and focus on R&D.
“From Doncaster, we’re now producing the 44mm and 48mm BRiTDOR solid core doors, delivering the sizes and designs our customers wanted. We have also installed a new auto staining line to increase capacity and standardisation of colour across the ever-popular wood-stained doors. And, most excitingly, we’ve relocated our FLiP foaming lines to Doncaster with additional working shifts to ensure we can meet the demand of our customers today and have capacity to further grow in 2025.
“FLiP’s growth is largely thanks to the widespread adoption by our customers, which has seen a significant increase in volume as more and more customers have adopted FLiP as their only glazing cassette system. That’s largely because it’s the only system that can offer three styles, Foam In Place technology and super easy installation. For 2025, the already comprehensive collection has been expanded with new designs. One of those new options is the Standard version of the Augusta Long cassette, in White, Black and Anthracite standard colours.”
Ellie Pool, DoorCo’s marketing manager, explained what visitors can expect from DoorCo at next year’s Fit Show. The event is set to start on 29 April.
She said: “This is my first proper Fit Show and I’m really excited to showcase all the hard work that’s been going on behind the scenes since the last time DoorCo exhibited in 2022. We’ve got a big stand and a big story to tell. Amongst other things we’ll be laying out our ONE Supplier offering and you can expect the return of some of our favourite parts of the previous experience. Come and see for yourself on H80.”
