Extrusions player Eurocell has unveiled ambitious plans for its output of both bar length and prefabricated conservatories to rise to 50,000 units a year.

The expansion is being facilitated in part by the opening of a new conservatory manufacturing facility at Eurocell's 100,000 sq ft Birchwood Way site in Alfreton, and will create around 75 new jobs. The move effectively increases the company's prefabricated conservatory production fourfold, and further endorses its intention to substantially grow its share of the quality PVC-U conservatory market.

Eurocell has also recruited conservatory industry specialist Paulo Gatti, who takes up the new role of Conservatory Operations Manager.

Operating on a double shift system, the new fabrication unit will initially output around 1,000 conservatories a month.
