The Glazerite UK Group is marking its 25th year in fenestration by shining the spotlight on its supplier partners and the contribution they’ve made to the success of the fabricator and its installers.
Glazerite Group Managing Director Rob Brearley explains: “2025 is an important milestone for Glazerite, and we are keen to celebrate it with those who have played an important role in our growth and the subsequent success of our installers.
“When Glazerite was launched in the year 2000, it operated from a single premises in Northamptonshire, where a handful of staff fabricated just one VEKA product, each driven by a desire to deliver high-quality windows to customers.
“Today we’ve grown into a multi-site, UK-wide operation, and have become one of VEKA’s largest fabricators. Though we operate on a much bigger scale, providing installers with high-quality products remains at the heart of our business and the remit of every one of our employees.”
Glazerite’s long-standing partnership with VEKA has been a fundamental part of Glazerite’s success, helping it to define its reputation for reliable and innovative products in a hugely competitive industry. As the only UK fabricator to manufacture VEKA’s full product range, Glazerite provides its installers with unrivalled products, support and opportunities for growth.
Since Glazerite first opened its doors in the year 2000, its product offering has grown significantly to include a broad range of leading profile systems and over 20,000 product combinations now available to installers. Today, its nationwide footprint enables the fabricator to deliver to installers across the UK from its divisions in Wellingborough, Bolton, Bristol, Peterborough and its recently opened Barnsley site, which focuses exclusively on manufacturing the full range of Deceuninck products.
Rob adds: “The partnerships Glazerite has built with trusted brands like VEKA, Deceuninck, ALUK, Residence Collection, DoorCo, Brisant and Avantis have all played a huge part in the business we are today. We are always looking to expand and evolve our offering for the benefit of our installers, and this year we’ve added to our hardware offering with the welcome addition of Yale, Roto and Carl F Groupco.”
Rob continues: “We invest in our supplier relationships by building partnerships forged on communication and innovation for the benefit of our installers. It is about more than just products; our suppliers support installers with marketing materials and enhanced guarantees, which, combined with our own value-added solutions, transform the business ambitions of our customers.
“The combined might of Glazerite’s supplier base has enabled us to grow our business to flex around the needs of our installers and deliver what their end customers want, whether that is a heritage window, a specific colour or the latest in composite doors or locking technology,” concludes Rob.
“Given how far we’ve come in 25 years, we’re excited to see what the future will bring for Glazerite, our suppliers and our installers.”
