Aluminium added
Tradelink has acquired Lee Aluminium – a well respected fabricator with a 22 year history.
Jim Moody, managing director of Tradelink said: “Tradelink prides itself on the fact it works in partnership with its installer customers to give them the products they need from a supplier they trust. Aluminium is currently one of the few growth sectors in the window industry, so we wanted to do more to help our customers stay ahead of this trend by adding aluminium to our fabricated range. We have previously offered aluminium frames to our customers through supplier partners but as a World Class Manufacturer, we wanted to bring a full aluminium fabrication facility in-house so that we could continuously improve this area of the business.
“Lee Aluminium is one of Smart Aluminium’s longest standing fabricators and just like Tradelink has always concentrated its efforts on supplying the very best products to the trade. The Lee Aluminium facility has been moved to its own 7000ft2 factory at Tradelink’s premises in March and previous owner, Chris Lee, will stay with the company to ensure a smooth transition for customers. Members of the Lee Aluminium production team will also be joining forces with Tradelink’s own experienced sales, technical and admin staff who will be dedicated to the Lee Aluminium brand, to offer customers the most efficient and friendly service possible.
“Tradelink is proud to be growing its sales organically in this current climate but we are also excited to be growing through acquisition and look forward to working with the Lee Aluminium team to give our installer customers the very best aluminium solutions.”
