AluFold celebrates a year of growth at Blackburn factory

AluFold Windows is celebrating one year of fabrication at its factory at Whitebirk Industrial Estate – a year marked by significant expansion, a growing 35-strong team and the addition of PVC-U manufacturing.

The supply-only fabricator moved into its Blackburn facility in August 2025, initially focused exclusively on aluminium windows and doors.

Just over 12 months later, AluFold has expanded its manufacturing footprint by more than 60%, from 56,457 sq/ft to 90,407 sq/ft.

The additional space has enabled the business to introduce a dedicated PVC-U factory, increase production capacity, and create a new despatch area to support its growing customer base.

AluFold now fabricates both aluminium and PVC-U glazing systems, with its PVC-U offering manufactured exclusively using Eurocell systems.

This expanded range is said to give installers and contractors access to a wider choice of products through one supply-only fabrication partner.

The business has also grown to a team of 35 people, bringing together the manufacturing experience, technical knowledge and customer focus needed to support its expanding operation.

Neal Addison, Managing Director of AluFold, commented: “There’s a real positive energy within the business. We are one united team with a shared vision for success.

“In just 12 months, we have expanded our facilities, introduced PVC-U fabrication and strengthened the infrastructure behind our service.

“We now have more space, greater capability and an experienced team that understands what our customers need from a fabrication partner.

“Our relationship with Unique Window Systems is an important part of that.

“AluFold retains its own specialist team and supply-only focus, while benefiting from the scale, expertise and operational support of the wider group. In practice, that gives our customers greater confidence in our manufacturing capability, supply capacity and long-term stability.

“It means we can offer the personal service and technical support customers expect from AluFold, with the additional strength and resources of an established manufacturing group behind us.

“This first year has given us a strong platform for the next stage of AluFold’s development. We’re looking forward to continuing to invest in our people, our facilities and the service we provide as we move into year two and beyond.”

Backed by Leicester-based Unique Window Systems, AluFold Windows supplies aluminium and PVC-U glazing to installers and contractors across the UK. Its structured, supply-only model is built around reliable service, technical expertise and controlled, repeatable production.
