Padiham's units will contain Edgetech's Super Spacer with built in energy saving and soft coat glass as standard.
The programme began two years ago but this latest £1 million investment has added the finishing touches to the strategic expansion plans.
Jeremy Kemp, Operations Director at Padiham, explains the difference this investment will make to the company's future: "We started looking at warm edge technology three years ago, but back then you could only apply it manually - the technology was not available".
"But with our new fully automated Forel machine and premises of 35,000 ft2 we are ready to go full steam ahead".
"Our manufacturing capacity will increase to 900-1000 units per shift".
"It's exciting times for Padiham as we look towards the future".
"We are even considering a second line in the next 24 months".
"We want innovations that give our customers even more of a competitive edge and Edgetech is very much part of that".
"We have always had an excellent relationship with them and Edgetech has been instrumental in the changes we are making, providing consistent, reliable support.".
