IG Doors manufactures Composite Doors for a range of markets which includes the house building sector where it enjoys a market leading position supplying amongst others Barratt Homes, David Wilson Homes, Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon Homes, Redrow Homes, and Bloor Homes.

The new house building sector is expected to grow significantly in coming years, with an estimated 200,000 new homes per year needed to meet the demands of a growing population. IG Doors wants to be in a position to maximise the potential growth through the existing relationships it enjoys with the leading house builders in the country.

IG Doors has also been supplying the social housing sector with the highest specification security doors for over 30 years and continues to enjoy a significant share of market demand; in 2014 it entered the trade sector where there is rapidly growing demand with its brand new ‘Truedor’ range.

Last year the company enjoyed a turnover in excess of £29 million from its UK base showing growth for the eighth successive year and is looking for the investment to open up opportunities for it to export into Europe and beyond and in the long term creating employment opportunity in Wales. The development of the new production facility is the first phase of five planned for the site and will enable faster and more efficient manufacturing and provide more space for storage and distribution.

The company is owned by The Hörmann Group, a fourth generation European family owned business which specialises in the supply of doors to a range of markets and has made over 15 million door products since it began trading in 1935. The family currently owns 29 production facilities and around 80 distribution plants worldwide and turns over in excess of 1 billion Euros per annum.

“The Cardiff office of independent property consultancy Knight Frank are appointed as project manager for the construction of the new development and also acted on the acquisition of the land at Oakdale Business Knight Frank LLP has headquarters in London and more than 370 offices in 55 countries, and employs over 12,000 people. The Group advises clients ranging from individual owners and buyers to major developers, investors and corporate tenants.

Its project management specialists provide technical knowledge, experience and market awareness to meet complex challenges in construction, property development, fit-out, refurbishment and relocation projects.

Richard Wooller, Partner in Knight Frank’s Cardiff Project and Building Consultancy Division, is leading the project management team for IG Doors. He said: “We have been involved in the acquisition, disposal, construction and refurbishment of many of South Wales’ leading buildings in recent years and I am delighted that we will now be able to play a role for IG Doors in the construction phase of this prestigious project, to deliver much needed extra space and make improvements in their operations and increase efficiency and productivity.”
