Wifwerfen Acquired By Percy Lane!

At the end of September 2004, the window manufacturing businesses previously traded under the names of Wifwerfen (UK) and Severn Yacht Marine were acquired by Percy Lane Products Limited .

At this point, it would be useful to tell you a bit about Percy Lane:

…        The business was founded in 1932 and has grown to become an established and leading supplier of windows to the UK and European transport industries and the prefabricated and modular building industry.

…        We are based in a dedicated and well equipped 77,000 sq ft facility in Tamworth, Staffordshire and having two hundred employees.

…        We consider ourselves to be well organised, employing a number of computer based and similarly automated systems in satisfying the service levels expected by our customers.

…        Our Customer base incorporates a wide range of businesses throughout the UK and Europe including leading industry names such as Land Rover, Bombardier, Alstom, Scania and Portakabin as well as a wealth of smaller owner-managed concerns.

…       We have a dedicated and skilled engineering and design team, employing the latest in Computer Assisted Design techniques and which is focused on satisfying the varying and specific product requirements of our customer base.

…        Our quality management systems are accredited by BSI to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 (Environmental) standards.

Further details are available on our website at www.percy-lane.co.uk.

It is our intention to continue to offer the full range of products previously offered by Wifwerfen, but with a special focus on windows for boats and similar marine leisure vessels and craft. To this end, we will employ our full resources to supply a service which we hope will come to be perceived by boat builders, boat owners and other similar parties as being second to none!
