Manufacturing expansion

Despite an unstable economic climate, we continue to invest in more manufacturing and glass processing machinery.

 

New, greener packaging

We’ve redesigned our packaging to reduce the use of foam and plastic. For some products, we’ve completely eliminated it! We’ve always placed an emphasis on keeping our products safe in transit, but with our clever cardboard design, we ‘re also doing our bit to reduce harmful waste.
