Barnsley-based fabricator, Euroglaze, is celebrating its 45-year anniversary, with the milestone also coinciding with 40 years as a Rehau partner.

Founded by Alan Nettleton in 1979, the business started fabricating Rehau profiles at its original Dewsbury site as far back as 1984, making Euroglaze Rehau’s longest-standing UK partner.

A move to Carlton, Barnsley, would follow in 1992, where the fabricator has stayed ever since, undertaking a major expansion to the factory in 2021.

Euroglaze has remained under family ownership throughout its history, with Alan’s son Martin taking the reins in 1999, and celebrating his 25^th anniversary as the head of the company this year.

Martin said: “It’s a pleasure to mark two major business milestones in 2024, alongside a rather significant personal milestone to boot. That we are still fabricating Rehau frames all these years on is testament to both the quality of their products, and our trust in them as a supplier. Rehau has played no small part in our success, and I look forward to seeing where the relationship will take us next.”

Euroglaze was one of the first fabricators to take on Rehau’s Slinova door in 2024 and is said to have manufactured over 400 examples last year.

Martin added: “The level of technical support available from Rehau means that we’re able to put complete faith in them as a supplier, and their approved installer scheme helps tee up business for us while allowing us to focus on fabrication.”

Hannah Smith, area sales manager for the East Midlands & Yorkshire at Rehau, said: “Euroglaze is a shining example of what it means to be a Rehau partner. Stocking our entire product range and always first to adopt our latest system, our relationship thrives on mutual trust and has only grown stronger over time. We will continue to support them in every way we can as they target further growth in year 46 and beyond.”
