The company, which comprises CO Manufacturing and CO Home Improvements, made the announcement at its annual Gala Dinner in Malaga.

A 15,000 sq ft factory will be transformed into a purpose-built facility. A significant investment is being made on the refurbishment, including the installation of dedicated CNC machines, cutting centres and crimpers.

It is the first time the CO Group will have access to its own aluminium production capability, with the expansion set to create twenty new jobs.

“This is a very exciting milestone in our journey and brings a whole new product range to our home improvement businesses and the 30 retailers in our ever-expanding network,” explained Greg Kane, CEO of CO Group. “It’s a commitment from us to deliver products of the highest standards and at lead times that consumers will appreciate. Aluminium is also an increasingly popular choice for homeowners and businesses looking for exceptional strength, sleek aesthetics and good durability with minimal upkeep.”

The CO Retail Network has overcome tough trading conditions and fragile consumer confidence to post an impressive 12% increase on sales across its 30 retailers across England, Wales and Scotland.

“With a lot of our sector reporting significant downturns, I’m proud to say we’re not only surviving, but actually thriving, outperforming the market in all areas,” added CO Manufacturing MD Mick Giscombe. “Five of our members, based in different geographies all over the UK, have actually recorded more than a 25% increase in sales. This is a staggering performance by all of them.”
