New Factory Roof with Solar Panels

New Factory Roof with Solar Panels

Investing in a Smarter, Greener Future

We’re proud to announce the beginning of the installation of a brand-new factory roof, complete with a high-capacity solar panel system — a major long-term investment in the resilience, sustainability, and efficiency of our operations.

This upgrade isn’t just about improving our facility. It’s about ensuring that the way we manufacture aligns with our values and the expectations of modern industry: responsible, energy-efficient, and forward-looking.

Future A More Sustainable Manufacturing Environment

Our new solar installation allows us to generate a significant proportion of our energy on-site. This reduces our dependency on grid electricity, cuts our carbon emissions, and supports our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility.

It also enhances the stability and predictability of our energy supply — a crucial advantage for continuous, high-volume sheet metal fabrication where production reliability is key.

Built for the Long Term

The new roof structure itself provides enhanced protection for our machinery, teams, and operations. Designed with longevity, insulation, and structural integrity in mind, it allows us to continue running our factory efficiently year-round, regardless of external weather conditions.

Combining this upgraded roofing system with modern solar technology means our facility is not only stronger, but also more energy-conscious and cost-efficient.

Benefits for Our Customers

Our investment creates tangible advantages for every customer we serve:

  • Lower environmental footprint
    Your products are manufactured in a facility that actively reduces carbon emissions and energy waste.
  • Cost stability
    By generating our own power, we can better manage rising energy costs — helping us maintain competitive pricing across all services.
  • Operational resilience
    A more secure, reliable energy supply supports steady production flow, reduces risk, and helps ensure dependable lead times.
  • Supply chain improvement
    Working with an environmentally responsible fabrication partner strengthens your own sustainability credentials.

Part of a Wider Commitment

  • This project is one of many steps we’re taking to improve our environmental performance and operate with greater efficiency and responsibility. It sits alongside our ISO 14001 accreditation, our use of a low-emission delivery vehicle, and our solvent-free powder coating processes. 
  • As we continue to invest in new technologies and infrastructure, we remain committed to creating a facility that is safe, sustainable, and capable of supporting the evolving needs of our customers for years to come.

Looking Ahead

Our new solar-powered roof marks a milestone in our journey of continuous improvement. It reflects who we are as a business: proactive, forward-thinking, and determined to deliver high-quality sheet metal fabrication in the most responsible way possible.
