Spectus is pleased to announce that it has taken over the production facility and business of Roplasto Polska sp zoo in Poland.
Roplasto Polska has been operating in Poland since 1994 and has a 20,000 tonne capacity extrusion factory in Wroclaw. It is well known for extensive sales of its three chamber 6002 system and five chamber 7001 system to PVC window fabricators in Poland and in several export markets. Spectus is a leading extruder of PVC window and door profiles in the UK and has operated successfully in East Europe for many years selling its TK60 window and door system through wholly owned subsidiaries in Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania and through exclusive distributors in other markets.
Spectus is part of the Latium Group, a privately owned international group based in the UK.
Commenting on the Roplasto Polska facility, Stuart Lees, Executive Chairman of Latium Plastics Holdings said "Spectus has been searching for an extrusion site in East Europe and we are delighted to have found the Wroclaw facility. The Roplasto quality image and the extensive five chamber system perfectly complement the Spectus 60mm TK60 system and present a winning combination to PVC window fabricators in Poland and other European markets.
Spectus plan to transfer production of the Spectus TK60 system from its Macclesfield, UK facility to Wroclaw over the next few months.
According to Spectus UK Export Director, Colin Jackson:
"Spectus Europe is a fast growing successful business and this is another solid step forward in its development. The transfer of TK60 extrusion to Wroclaw will also free space in our UK extrusion factory to supply new customers that Spectus has recently won in Great Britain and Ireland"
The Wroclaw extrusion facility began trading 1st June 2007 under the name of the existing Spectus subsidiary in Poland, Spectus sp zoo.
