Major Plastmo customer Vale Window Co Ltd has undertaken a major initiative to expand its PVC-U window manufacturing programme to a dedicated new factory in Stockport, Greater Manchester.

The decision comes eight months after the company relocated its manufacturing headquarters to a new 25,000 sq.ft facility in its Mansfield, Nottinghamshire homebase, within a £500,00 investment programme. Vale’s expansion to the North West now injects its considerable manufacturing expertise and trading success into the Greater Manchester trade sector. The full range of Plastmo products, including the Charisma Vertical Sliding Window and the recently introduced Vogue profile suite will now be produced at Stockport as well as Mansfield.

The new Stockport facility consists of sales offices and factory within a 20,000 sq.ft complex at a total investment, including Elumatec production equipment, of £450,000.

The company, which gained Kitemark 7412 certification and ISO 9002 on its range of 62mm Plastmo System Index windows last year, will employ up to 50 operatives within the next 24 months. Two industry experts, John Hesketh and Andre Lomax, have been appointed as Head of Sales and General Manager, to head the new operation. Vale’s Managing Director is Brian Hackett.
