Alucraft Systems has acquired certain assets of Fa\u00e7ade and Glazing Solutions Limited, including its 3,000m2<\/sup> manufacturing facility in Rotherham, UK. FGS entered into administration in early January 2020. Since then the management of Alucraft Systems has worked with the former employees and administrator to secure a deal for the facility and its assets.<\/p>\n

Alucraft plans to reopen the FGS facility with an initial 19 employees. The ambition is to expand the workforce as Alucraft Group secures new work.<\/p>\n

The addition of the newly acquired FGS facility will support the Group’s ambitious growth plans and provide a significant additional increased aluminum fabrication capacity. Alucraft plans to further increase this capacity during 2020, to support the Group’s existing operations. Overall, the aim is for the facility to become a centre of excellence for unitised fa\u00e7ade fabrication alongside other fabrication activities. Furthermore, in addition to working on Alucraft’s projects across the UK and Ireland, the facility will be made available to third parties on commercial terms.<\/p>\n

The acquisition is another milestone in the history of Alucraft. Founded in 1975, Alucraft has earned a reputation for delivering first-class quality service to its customers and provided fa\u00e7ades to many high-profile construction projects. John Foster, Commercial Director, Alucraft Systems, said:<\/strong> “This is a decisive and positive step for Alucraft. This sends a very strong message to the construction industry. We have added a fantastic facility, which will increase our operational capacity, allowing us to deliver larger and more complex projects. It will also create additional employment opportunities in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have ambitious plans for the business, and are providing much needed capacity for fa\u00e7ade design, engineering, manufacturing and construction in the UK. The combination of Alucraft and EAG builds our position as a market leader. We will continuously strive to innovate and improve our capabilities through collaboration across the Group, our customers and the wider market.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
