At Made For Trade, we’re always looking for ways to improve our business, our products, and our impact on the industry. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we have become a member of the Council for Aluminium in Building (C-A-B). We believe this partnership will bring a host of benefits, not just for our company, but for our customers and the wider fenestration industry.
Our decision to join C-A-B came after extensive research into industry bodies that could best support our ambitious growth plans. C-A-B’s mission and values align perfectly with our own, particularly their commitment to responsible and sustainable manufacturing. We are especially excited about their Closed Loop Recycling Scheme, an initiative that resonates deeply with our commitment to minimising our environmental footprint. As a leading manufacturer of premium aluminium products like our award winning Korniche Roof Lanterns and Bifold Doors, we feel a strong responsibility to contribute to a more sustainable future.

We look forward to collaborating with C-A-B and its members to advocate for favourable regulations, standards, and conditions that will support the continued success of the UK fenestration sector. By working together, we can help shape an environment where we thrive together with more efficient products in the market.”
Transparency and honesty are core values at Made For Trade. We believe our trade customers deserve clear, reliable information about the products they purchase for their clients, especially when it comes to crucial factors like thermal efficiency. C-A-B’s active promotion of transparent and reliable data is a key reason for our membership. We are committed to being recognised as a manufacturer that provides clear product information our customers can trust, and we believe our C-A-B membership is a clear demonstration of that commitment. It shows that we do things responsibly, from design and manufacturing to providing accurate product performance data.

By sharing our own insights and learning from others, we can further enhance the quality and innovation of our products and our business practices.
