Ben Brocklesby, Director at Origin, the UK’s leading manufacturer of aluminium doors and windows, discusses the company’s latest investment.
At Origin, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation. The latest advancement in our operations, our unique in-house powder coating facility, is a testament to this commitment. Not only does this new facility allow us to improve our offering, but it also means we have control over our entire manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished products.
Bringing the entire process under one roof is transformational. It eliminates our reliance on third parties, which minimises the chance of errors or damage. This allows us to consistently exceed industry standards and enhance the reliable reputation we have cultivated amongst our Partners and the wider fenestration industry.
A new era of precision
At the heart of our investment is our linishing machine. This precision tool meticulously removes even the tiniest imperfections from the aluminium profile, creating a flawless surface that is then primed for optimal powder coating adhesion. Combined with our 10-stage pre-treatment process (surpassing industry standards), we achieve a surface preparation that’s market leading, and ensures the best finish, every time.
Expanding possibilities
Our in-house facility also empowers us to offer a wider range of colours and finishes, including textured options. This allows for new design possibilities for builders, allowing them to create truly unique and visually striking spaces for their clients, both inside and outside the home.
The future of powder coating
Beyond its immediate benefits, our powder coating facility positions Origin for continued growth. We’re consistently investing in the latest technologies to ensure our facility remains at the forefront of the industry, enabling us to explore new techniques and develop even more advanced products. On top of this, the facility recently achieved ISO 9001 (quality management systems), ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO 45001 (health and safety).
Experience the Origin difference
By choosing Origin, you’re not just selecting a product; you’re partnering with a company that’s dedicated to redefining industry standards. Our innovative approach to powder coating delivers exceptional quality, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Plus, doing it in-house ensures we can continue to deliver on our zero–lead time promise on select colours as it minimises risk on the supply chain.
