Laird Security Hardware has announced that it is undergoing a process of restructuring its manufacturing facilities by switching the majority of the remaining production processes for window products from Essex to other factories in the UK and overseas.

The restructuring is part of Laird Security Hardware’s longer-term plan of investment in new technology and product focussed manufacturing plants.

Laird’s design, development and UKAS accredited testing expertise will be maintained at its site in Essex together with customer support services including sales, engineering and distribution.

Commenting on the change, Managing Director Peter Rowlands said, ‘These changes will strengthen our ability to service customer demand in the highly competitive hardware market.

‘The restructuring of the manufacturing side of our business is part of our on-going plan to develop our position as leaders in the key sectors of the window and door hardware market. We will continue to focus primarily on the development of new window and door solutions for our UK customer base, providing cost effective product ranges from our manufacturing plants worldwide.’
