Record sales year for specialist aluminium fabricator
Posted on 14/04/2015
Specialist aluminium fabricator CDW Systems ended its financial year in record breaking fashion, having achieved 19% growth compared to the previous year.
Over the course of the year, CDW Systems has seen sales across the business increase, with aluminium windows, doors, sliding doors and curtain walling all performing well.
This strong end to the financial year follows on from CDW’s record 2014. The specialist aluminium supplier attributes its success to a number of factors, the main one being the continued growth of aluminium in both the domestic and commercial markets.
This growth is supported by figures from the recent Palmer Market Research report which identified aluminium market share has increased from 5% to 8% in the last couple of years.
Managing Director of CDW Systems, Jerry Webb comments: “Aluminium is a growth product in the domestic sector, particularly bifolding and sliding doors as these products continue to be popular as consumer spending on home improvements remain strong.
“In addition aluminium remains strong in the commercial sector, and we’re supplying higher volumes for this market too. The education sector is a growth area for us as, councils release more money for school building and refurbishments.”
CDW has made a number of investments to ensure its manufacturing processes run smoothly and product quality is maintained, even as they take on more business across multiple markets.
This includes the introduction of a second shift to meet rapidly increasing demand, as well as current plans to recruit additional staff to join the 60 strong team CDW currently employ.
Jerry comments: “We’re experiencing increased demand for our products from existing customers and we’ve taken on board a number of new accounts, and there are no signs of this slowing down as we round off a fantastic end to the financial year.
“Our record sales is testament to our significant investments in both the business and our products over recent months and we aim to continue investing to ensure both we and our customers remain at the forefront of a flourishing aluminium market.”
