Investing in efficiency
»»Due to increased demand for
double and triple glazed insulated glass
units for doors, Decorative Door Products
(DDP) by RegaLead has announced further
improvements to production capacity thanks
to investment in a Buxstrup WS 800 semiautomatic IG line, reinforcing the company’s
position as the market leaders in IGUs for
doors.
The German manufactured WS 800 is
designed specifically for rapid production
of small IGUs, with the added benefit of an
integrated gas fill press.
Guy Hubble, Joint Managing Director at
RegaLead, explains: “With a maximum glass
size of 900 by 1200mm, the Buxtrup WS
86 » M AY 2015 » CL EARVI E W- UK . C O M
800 is the perfect addition to our Hawick
manufacturing facility, due to our specialism
in IGUs for composite or panel doors only.
“We continually invest in our DDP
division, and this latest line allows us to not
only improve our production efficiencies,
but also the quality of those units using rigid
spacer bars. The introduction of the Buxtrup
equipment follows last year’s investment in a
Beston heated roller press production line to
manufacture insulated glass using Duraseal
and Decoseal flexible spacer.”
