Celplas relies on Kestrel for quality UPVC building products
In a competitive market and with quality and price at the front of customers’ minds, Lancashire UPVC building products supplier Celplas relies on Kestrel.
Blackpool-based Celplas, which has been in business for 25 years has built its reputation by offering quality products that its customers can rely on.
Over the years, especially in the last decade, competition has increased with more companies getting into the UPVC roofline market across Lancashire. But it’s that focus on providing quality products that has kept the business competitive, as Celplas manager Paul Ashford explained.
“Quality is important for our customers and that’s where Kestrel products excel,” Paul said. “Our customers recognise the brand and know that they are good quality, whether its fascias and soffits, cladding or trims, the products are reliable and that makes the installer’s job easier.
“The products are backed by a good team of people who can be relied on to offer support when it’s needed,” Paul added.
Among the Kestrel products that Celplas sells, it’s perhaps no surprise that white fascias and soffits are the biggest sellers, but Paul noted that there is a growing demand for anthracite grey and black ash finishes, which offer a modern look.
To keep up with the changing demands of its customers and the market, Celplas keeps an eye on emerging trends and has diversified its product range to include decking and decorative panels.
“During the Covid pandemic, people started spending more time at home and wanted to spruce up their gardens, which created an increased demand for decking and that has continued,” Paul said.
“Even in a summer like this one, which hasn’t been the best, that demand for outdoor projects remains high and Dekboard allows installers to offer a more diverse range of services.
“Similarly, Zest decorative panels are an ideal opportunity to work on indoor projects when the weather isn’t ideal for roofline and rainwater installations,” Paul added
Kestrel Invests in Manufacturing
Leading UPVC building products brand, Kestrel, is making significant investments at its Scunthorpe factory to improve its offering to customers.
This investment spans across the manufacturing of its roofline range, the introduction of an innovative gutter balloon, and improvements to Kestrel’s injection moulding facilities.
Scott Sinclair, Head of Operations for Kestrel, emphasised the company’s dedication to innovation and quality.
“Kestrel’s customers rely on us to innovate new products and ensure our existing range is manufactured to the highest possible standards.
“This investment is part of Kestrel’s commitment to continuous improvement to make sure that our customers get the quality products they need when they need them,” Scott added.
The investment includes new tooling and injection moulding machinery, which has led to significant improvements in energy efficiency.
“We are constantly refining and upgrading systems and processes,” Scott said.“This latest round of investment has already seen a 40 percent energy efficiency saving for the injection moulding process alone.
“The carbon footprint of Kestrel products is an incredibly important driver when we look to make improvements. All of our products are manufactured in the UK, and we are committed to giving customers that reassurance that we will continue to improve our environmental credentials.”
Kestrel’s focus on continuous improvement and innovation is aimed at ensuring it not
only meets but exceeds customer expectations, while also boosting its environmental sustainability.
Kestrel’s marketing manager, Alison Ratcliffe, said the strategic investments would
bolster Kestrel’s position as a reliable and forward-thinking leader in the UPVC building products industry and highlighted the immediate benefits to customers.
“This latest investment in manufacturing is part of an ongoing program of changes
and improvements to ensure our customers can rely on Kestrel to deliver the quality
products they need,” Alison said.
“This commitment can only help us deliver an even better service to customers in the future.”
