Euroglaze and REHAU Celebrate Major Business Milestones

Barnsley-based fabricator Euroglaze Limited is celebrating its 45-year anniversary this year, with the milestone also coinciding with 40 years as a REHAU partner.

16.12.2024

Founded by Alan Nettleton in 1979, the business started fabricating REHAU profiles at its original Dewsbury site as far back as 1984, making Euroglaze REHAU’s longest-standing UK partner.

A move to Carlton, Barnsley, would follow in 1992, where the fabricator has stayed ever since, undertaking a major expansion to the factory in 2021.

Euroglaze has remained under family ownership throughout its history, with Alan’s son Martin taking the reins in 1999, and celebrating his 25^th anniversary as the head of the company this year.

Commenting on these achievements, Martin said: “It’s a pleasure to mark two major business milestones in 2024, alongside a rather significant personal milestone to boot. That we are still fabricating REHAU frames all these years on is testament to both the quality of their products, and our trust in them as a supplier. REHAU has played no small part in our success, and I look forward to seeing where the relationship will take us next.”

Corroborating Euroglaze’s trust in REHAU as a supplier, the fabricator has always been among the first to take on new REHAU products, including the recently launched SLINOVA sliding door this year.

Martin went on to give his account of the onboarding process: “Once we’d ordered in the necessary tooling, making the change over to SLINOVA was simple. Paul Bateman, REHAU’s Technical Support Engineer for our area, came over to our site to make sure all of our staff were up-to-speed with the fabrication process, and stayed in regular contact afterwards for any queries we might have.

“The seamless nature of this transition has allowed us to fabricate more than 400 SLINOVAs already. The level of technical support available from REHAU means that we’re able to put complete faith in them as a supplier, and their approved installer scheme helps tee up business for us while allowing us to focus on fabrication.”

As Euroglaze approaches its fifth decade in the fenestration agency, the business is gearing up for further growth after appointing Glen Park and Emma Mitchell to the board as Operations Director and Finance Director respectively.

This people-focused approach has been fundamental to the business’ success to date, with the percentage of products rejected internally or externally currently sitting at just 0.3%.

Hannah Smith, Area Sales Manager for the East Midlands & Yorkshire at REHAU, said: “Euroglaze is a shining example of what it means to be a REHAU partner. Stocking our entire product range and always first to adopt our latest system, our relationship thrives on mutual trust and has only grown stronger over time. We will continue to support them in every way we can as they target further growth in year 46 and beyond.”
