Production capacity ‘will double’ for windows firm
KIRKCALDY: CMS opened Fife factory earlier this year
A windows company which recently spent more than £500,000 in a Kirkcaldy factory has invested in “next generation” equipment to support its growth.
CMS Windows Systems said its new investment programme will more than double its production capacity for aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling. It is also planning to boost its site installation workforce.
The Cumbernauld-based firm is the first in Scotland to commission a Emmegi Quadra L2 machine for milling, drilling and cutting aluminium profiles. The new machine, based at its headquarters, means the firm is now equipped to deliver aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling for the most diverse range of projects.
Chief executive David Ritchie said: “Our latest investment in our aluminium division will help us strengthen our position at the forefront of the market, and provide solutions for a greater range of commercial, public sector and residential projects.
“We have excellent capacity right across our business thanks to our longterm production planning, with our aluminium division expansion coming on the back of the opening of our new doors factory in Kirkcaldy, which is already producing 150 doorsets every week.
“The market for high quality windows, doors and curtain walling remains strong and we look forward to growing further as a result of our latest investment.”
