Aluminium Doors and Windows Ltd has increased manufacturing performance by 30% following investment in a Kombimatec AMC328 CNC machining centre, supporting greater efficiency, consistency and production capacity.
The company, which operates across residential and commercial projects in the South East and East Anglia, says the investment forms part of its wider strategy to expand its in-house manufacturing operation and deliver a fully integrated service.
“By bringing manufacturing in-house, we’re able to offer a complete solution – from design through to installation – with full accountability and consistency,” says Mario Lopata, Managing Director at Aluminium Doors and Windows Ltd.
According to the company, growing production volumes and increasingly complex projects highlighted the limitations of manual machining processes.
“We needed to improve both speed and precision. Investing in CNC technology allows us to reduce errors, minimise waste and significantly increase output, while freeing up our team to focus on higher-value work,” Lopata adds.
Delivered in March, the Kombimatec AMC328 CNC machining centre supports the fabrication of aluminium windows, doors and curtain walling systems. Aluminium Doors and Windows Ltd says the machine’s automated functions and operator interface enabled rapid integration into production with minimal disruption.
“The impact was immediate,” says Lopata. “Our workflow is now much smoother and more efficient, with far less reliance on manual processes.”
The company says the CNC machining centre has also improved precision and repeatability across bespoke residential and commercial fabrication work, helping standardise production and reduce material waste.
“It’s sped up our process by 30% while reducing mistakes and material waste,” Lopata continues.
The investment forms part of the company’s longer-term manufacturing growth strategy, with additional machinery investments already under consideration.
“We’re already looking at additional machinery to further enhance quality and efficiency,” says Lopata. “This is about building a stronger, more resilient operation for the long term.”
Aluminium Doors and Windows Ltd selected Kombimatec as its machinery partner based on its support and training offer.
“They offered clear information, transparent pricing and excellent training. That level of support made a real difference.”
