Manufacturer invests in innovative equipment


An Ilkeston company which makes aluminium products for the building industry has unveiled its latest state-of-the-art investment. Dales Fabrications has installed a


polyester powder coating plant which applies attractive hard- wearing finishes to the aluminium products it manufactures at its factory in Crompton Road. Industry specialists and Erewash


MP Maggie Throup were among guests who attending the unveiling. Karl Prosser, Managing Director


of Dales, said the new equipment, costing £170,000, is a massive upgrade of a limited capacity that the company had up to now and will help speed up the process. The cost includes a grant of

in more people being employed locally.”
