Our History

Aluroll is privately owned and part of a group of construction related businesses with an annual turnover in excess of £15 million.

Aluroll was launched in 2004 with the aim of becoming the UK’s leading supplier of quality aluminium roller garage doors and security shutters products to the trade.

As a direct result of customer feedback, Aluroll expanded its product offering in 2011 to incorporate a comprehensive range of steel shutters under the Steelroll brand. To cope with a continued increase in demand, we relocated our factory & showroom to a state of the art 50,000 square foot facility within our group’s self-contained industrial estate located in Oswestry, Shropshire.

The additional space enabled us to increase production capacity and Aluroll took the opportunity to invest in automated production lines and a powder coating facility to ensure further efficiencies. It has also allowed us to further increase our product range to incorporate rated fire shutters.

Operating through a network of approved distributors and installers, Aluroll has experienced organic growth year on year as a direct result of our commitment to continual improvement and outstanding levels of customer service. We firmly believe we offer the best overall value for money in the market.

OUR QUALITY

ALUMINIUM ROLLER SHUTTER MANUFACTURING FACILITIES:

Aluroll has formed strategic alliances with leading raw material suppliers. Insulated profiles are sourced from Aluprof, Alukon, Alutech & D4. Hydro Aluminium supply the extruded aluminium profiles and associated sections. Our primary motor and control system partners are Somfy, JCM, Ellard & GfA. We systematically review our supply partners to ensure high standards are consistently maintained.

Aluroll is quality assured to ISO 9001 and all products are CE marked. We continually strive to ensure that all products comply with the latest European health, safety and environmental protection legislation.

To maintain a clean working environment the latest extraction technology is installed on all machinery and throughout the factory. All dust and materials collected through extraction are recycled.

Aluroll maintain significant stock levels of roller shutter profiles, supplemented by regular deliveries from control and component suppliers, to ensure manufacturing can start within 24 hours of receiving an order.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS:

Step 1 – Aluroll production lines cut curtain slat profiles to specified lengths utilising semi-automated processes. Guide channels and enclosures are then cut and prepped by our fully trained operators.

Step 2 – If the shutters are required in a specific RAL or BS colour the in-house powder coating facility reduces lead time and increases logistical efficiency. There are over 100 stock colours in our stores at any given time and our suppliers can supply non-standard colours within 24-48 hours.

Curtain slats, guide channels and enclosures are thoroughly prepared in a 3 sequence washer (pre-wash, wash & pre-treatment). The powder is applied via an automated spray booth system and the profiles are finally baked in a 7m oven.

Step 3 – Once the raw materials leave the production line or powder coating area, the shutters are assembled incorporating the specified control system and other order specific items. A thorough inspection and checking system compares the original order, manufacturing cut sheet and final product prior to despatch. Once signed off the product is loaded onto an Aluroll van for delivery.

All orders are handled and tracked by a bespoke end to end integrated office, factory and delivery order management software system – Fentrack.
