Excell marks 20 years with Rehau

Astley based Excell Trade Frames is celebrating its 20th anniversary with Rehau.

According to the company’s directors, John and Jill Oliviero, the company’s dedication to providing premium-grade products has been a key factor behind the partnership.

“Technology used in the production of window frames has vastly improved since the 80s, and we’ve always been keen to be at the forefront of that change. As such, when first looking for a supplier, we wanted one at the forefront of research and development,” John explained.

“Rehau’s long-standing experience and reputation as a polymer innovator was exactly what we were looking for. Once we’d established ourselves as a partner, things took off from there – we’ve experienced exceptional growth ever since.”

Due to growth, the company has moved three times to larger premises in the Manchester area, and now operates from an 18,000ft2 factory with 38 employees. The business was able to expand successfully into the commercial sector in 2013.

“We have to attribute this expansion due to the variety of products we’ve been able to produce, alongside the support we’ve received from Rehau,” Jill continued. “Rehau’s continual input on consumer trends such as sustainability and how this has affected window system design has been integral to Excell keeping ahead in the market. For instance, the versatility of the Total70C means we’ve been able to develop windows and doors that meet the needs of the trade, retail and commercial markets.

“Moving forward, we’re keen to continue growing in all areas, and we are particularly excited about the launch of the Rio flush fit window and door system; its high energy efficiency rating will save our customers money, while being made from recycled materials means it has strong environmental credentials.”
