NorDan UK acquires majority stake in Esk Glazing

Window and door manufacturer, NorDan UK, part of the NorDan Group, has acquired a majority shareholding in Esk Glazing. 

The acquisition expands NorDan UK’s reach across the north-east of Scotland, where the company has operated since 1981. It headquartered in Livingston, with additional offices in Aberdeen and Inverness. NorDan UK reported a turnover of £96.9m in 2024 and has six showrooms across the UK.

According to NorDan, this increased capacity will enable faster project turnaround, broader service coverage, and stronger local responsiveness, further strengthening NorDan’s presence across public, residential, and commercial sectors.

Founded in 1974 by Eric Irons and now led by his son Craig Irons, Esk Glazing is said to have built a strong reputation in Northeast Scotland for supplying quality windows, doors, conservatories, and bespoke stained-glass design.

Esk Glazing has recently refurbished its headquarters and expanded its trade centre, and has a team of more than 35 staff.

Offering fully certified insulated fire doors to bespoke glazing solutions, Esk strengthens NorDan’s portfolio, adding to an existing range of integrated solutions.

Like NorDan, Esk Glazing has maintained a strong family presence over its history, and Eric’s son, Craig Irons, will retain a significant shareholding to help maintain continuity, customer relationships, and the company’s long-term vision.

NorDan UK’s investment into Esk Glazing follows its acquisition of PDS Doors in Littleborough, Greater Manchester.

Craig Greenwood, managing director of NorDan UK, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Esk Glazing into the NorDan Group. Their deep regional roots, reputation for quality, shared values around sustainability and service make this an ideal partnership. Together, we strengthen capacity across Scotland while maintaining local knowledge and responsiveness.”

Craig Irons, regional director at Esk, commented: “This partnership marks a new chapter for Esk Glazing. We’re proud of our heritage and culture, and joining NorDan allows us to broaden our product range and technical resources –while preserving the personal, people-focused service our customers know and trust.”
