Synseal: Expansion of facility
Synseal, the UK’s leading PVC-u profile extruder, is to extend its site in the East Midlands with a new 10,000 sq metre warehouse and picking facility. To be completed in spring 2006, it will take the Sutton-in-Ashfield site to just under 60,000 sq metres in total. The investment follows closely on its acquisition of Essex-based profile extruder Permacell Finesse, which brought cellular PVC products such as cladding and soffits to the company’s product range, and propelled Synseal into the top spot among UK profile extruders. Other recent investments include four Battenfeld injection moulding machines that enabled to firm to bring its moulding requirements in-house. Synseal already extrudes all its own profile.
