MultipanelUK brings manufacturing back to UK

Following eighteen months of preparation and construction, the company has relocated its manufacturing operation from China to a new, cutting-edge, high-speed production line which uses the most advanced technology in the industry.

Covering an area of more than 10,000 square metres, the multi-million pound investment project includes warehousing, administration and production facilities with an annual capacity to produce five million square metres of Aluminium Composite Panels. The site has also directly created more than fifty new jobs and brought a great deal of new business to local companies.

This move will not only enhance the already high standards of Alupanel® products thanks to the use of the very best raw materials from European suppliers but it will also reduce delivery times and enable the company to respond more quickly to market demands. In addition to shorter delivery times and reduced shipping costs, the lower risk from currency fluctuations means customers will also benefit from improved price stability.

Managing Director, Andrew Cock, said “The UK is renowned for its quality manufacturing and we are delighted to be opening this facility in Dover. The location provides excellent links to the transport infrastructure in the UK combined with easy access to the European road network which is ideal for our global distribution needs. Alupanel® IS the only product of its kind to be made in the UK and manufacturing here will enable us to provide our customers with an unrivalled product in terms of quality and service.”

A premium quality composite panel, the Alupanel® range of products is available in one of the widest colour ranges on the market and all standard PE colours come with a 5 year guarantee for internal and external applications.
