Central makes £400k machinery investment

Central Window Systems has invested over £400K in new machinery, helping to meet growing demand while also improving its manufacturing capability, product quality and overall customer offering.

Capable of producing between 800 and 1,000 frames per week, Central’s new additional Stuga CNC machining centre offers quality precision and high-surface product finish while the new Emmegi saw centre features state-of-the-art profile recognition, which will further increase capacities.

Central has also increased its corner cleaning capacity by acquiring an additional CNC corner cleaner, integrating pneumatic, mechanical and CNC control together for the high-quality cleaning of PVC-U window welding corners.

Central’s sales and marketing director, Martyn Elwell, commented: “In the past two years, we’ve expanded our manufacturing facility to 52,000ft² and increased our production to 1,600 PVC-U products per week. We also significantly expanded our aluminium division to better serve domestic installers, growing both our portfolio and customer base.

“Our philosophy at Central has always been to reinvest and progress, and this recent machinery investment will enable us to maintain our current volumes while also further streamlining our manufacturing processes and giving us the opportunity to increase capacity as our business grows.

“This phase is just part of many additions and developments we plan to make over the coming year as we move forward and continue to best support our valued installer customers across the country.”
