Synseal acquires domestic IGU manufacturing assets of Village Glass

The business has 140 staff based in Witham Essex and has a reputation for making high quality units for its customers in the south east of England.

“This is an important southern region addition to our existing three Global Glass IGU manufacturing sites which are situated across the midland and northern regions, and enables us to supply glass sealed units to a much wider range of our customers” said David Leng, CEO of Synseal.

“We have significantly grown our glass sales over the past few years and this new facility brings much needed capacity, with the additional benefit of a specialist, high speed triple glazed unit line. The acquisition leaves the Synseal Group, and its 1,500 employees, well placed to exceed £150m turnover next year from its seven sites and we look forward to increasing our glass, sales with our southern customers”.

The Synseal Group has come a long way from being solely a systems house. Over recent years, through acquisition and investment, it has developed considerably into what is now the UK’s leading multi-solution home improvement supplier, working with more than 700 businesses in the door, window, glass and conservatory markets. With a top table management team representing 150 years’ collective experience, the brand is committed to leading the market through research and development across its broad product range, which includes profile, glass, conservatories, roofs, doors, hardware and much more, to ensure it continues to offer its customers a competitive advantage in today’s market. In the past couple of years the Group has invested heavily in research and development in order to launch some of the most truly innovative products the market has ever seen. These include WarmCore aluminium windows and doors, the Masterdor Craftsman range of precision engineered timber doors as well as the Stratus, thermally broken lantern roof.

With customers at the heart of everything they do, Chief Executive David Leng and Group Sales and Marketing Director Andy Jones are working closely with Head of Marketing, David Wigley, to ensure the Synseal Group delivers on quality, performance and service.
