DDP invests for increased efficiency

Due to increased demand for double and triple glazed insulated glass units for doors, we have made further improvements to production capacity thanks to investment in a Buxstrup WS 800 semi-automatic IG line, reinforcing our 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 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.”
