Black Country manufacturer sets up new base creating jobs

A CONSTRUCTION supply business has set up a new base in the Black Country creating seven new jobs.

D A Profiles Ltd makes steel and aluminium fabrication for the construction industry and the roofing and cladding market in particular.

The firm has taken a lease on a 6,433 sq ft unit at the Pensnett Estate, Kingswinford, owned and managed by London and Cambridge Properties.

DA Profiles specialises in the manufacture of products such as flashings and fabrications, profiled sheets, purlins and rails, cills and pressings. It also offers specialist welding services and a comprehensive range of fixings and ancillaries .It supplies sectors such as healthcare, schools, commercial, industrial and retail.

Andy Clarke, a director at the firm, said: “We may be a new company but we have more than 80 years combined experience in both sales and manufacturing within our target markets. As we grow we will take on more staff and machinery.

“We looked at several properties and chose Pensnett for our base because its location and motorway links mean we can transport products to our customers across the country with relative ease.”

He said another factor was the importance of ensuring that the new unit and offices provided the right impression to visiting customers and suppliers.
