Tradeglaze enhances production capacity
East Midlands fabricator and installer, Tradeglaze, has strengthened its production with three new welding machines, marking the latest phase of the company’s strategic investment programme.
The company’s growth plan is designed to further increase production capacity and fabrication precision, as it continues to support an increasing number of projects in the region.
The three welders – which include a WSA1E-L Wegoma single head reverse butt welder, a WSA4UNI Wegoma 4 head inline turret welder, and a WSA4LVE Wegoma quad welder – are designed to improve the fabricator’s capability to handle all projects, from individual, bespoke orders, to large-volume complex contracts, cutting the overall production time per unit and further shortening lead times for customers.
This six-figure upgrade follows £500,000+ already invested in the past two years in PVC-U, aluminium, and glass production at the company’s 13,000ft2 factories.
Managing director, Jeremy Wetherall, said: “We are always looking ahead, anticipating customer needs, and equipping our teams with the best tools and training to exceed customer expectations. Product quality and exceptional customer service have become synonymous with our name. The latest investment in our welding process elevates our standards to yet another level, meaning even stronger, flawless corner joints for our customers’ projects.”
The company has had a strong start to 2025, not only investing in equipment but also in its people and premises. Five new team members have joined Tradeglaze, expanding the company’s customer support function. All team members benefit from ongoing training, upskilling, and mentoring programmes.
Tradeglaze also recently unveiled a remodelled showroom, showcasing full-size, working displays of the fabricator’s product portfolio of windows, doors and architectural glazing.
“The UK window and door industry is navigating one of its most challenging trading periods in a generation,” concluded Jeremy.
“We continue to invest in technology, product innovation, systems, and our people. No matter what challenges arise in our industry or in the UK economy, we are always here, with quality and service our customers can rely on.”
