Global Automatics sets out ambitious growth plans

Global Automatics says it has doubled its sales to more than £1.5 million having set out in 2007 to develop and manufacture a range of products that would make installation easier. Set up and run by managing director Del Thomas and his uncle Rob Thomas in Hertfordshire, the company boasts that all its products are designed for fast installation and ease of maintenance, underpinning its confidence with unusual eighteen-month warranties. Global Automatics has some aggressive plans for the future, setting its sights on becoming the top UK supplier and manufacturer of automatic door systems within five years. "We are great believers in reviving the UK manufacturing sector and our future expansion will see us widening our range of UK designed and manufactured product aimed at lowering the cost of an automatic door installation," said Del Thomas. "We also see plenty of opportunities for selling our products into Europe and America where the hotter and colder countries need automatic door technology even more to regulate a building's temperature, either keeping the heating or air conditioning inside."
