Emplas short-listed for Fabricator of the Year
Emplas has been short-listed in the Fabricator of the Year category at the G-Awards 2025.
Having won the Fabricator of the Year title in 2015 and 2021, it represents the fourth year in succession that Emplas has made the short-listing.
Ryan Johnson, managing director, Emplas Group, said that the short-listing was testimony to the hard work of the entire Emplas team and a reflection of the success of its customers.
“We invest a lot – in our manufacturing facility, in green energy, in IT and software innovations, and in product quality – but ultimately it’s the investment hat we make in our people and our partnerships with our customers and suppliers, that makes the real difference,” he said.
“The G-Awards for me are a celebration of our people, our customers and our supply partners. It’s their collective contribution to Emplas that makes us what we are today, and which will continue to shape our future.
“To be short-listed this year in the Fabricator of the Year category, alongside some other very good businesses, is a real achievement – but most importantly a collective one.”
Emplas has continued its investment-led strategy this year.
In its latest effort to reduce its carbon footprint, 1,558 new solar panels have been installed on the roof of its 57,000ft2 Wellingborough manufacturing hub, bringing total solar capacity to 701.1kW and saving 159 tonnes of CO2 per annum.
This is on top of the launch of a unique closed-loop recycling service in partnership with the Epwin Group and Saint-Gobain Glass, with projections to divert more than 300 tonnes of post-consumer PVC-U and 1,000 tonnes of glass per annum from the waste stream.
Emplas restructured its manufacturing facility at the start of this year, opened a second dedicated door facility and brought new products online including three new composite doors and a new fire door range.
Emplas has also continued the development of its own customer CRM and digital business management tool, EVA CRM, and launched new customer lead generation campaigns including its consumer platform, Snug, and the Commercial Window Group.
