The Challenge

As Record UK’s core manufacturing hub, the Blantyre facility plays a key role in producing the company’s automated door systems. Housing CNC machinery, fabrication, testing, and assembly, the site operates with naturally high electrical demand typical of industrial manufacturing.

“This is our largest energy consuming site, which meant it offered the greatest operational and sustainability impact.”

-James Simpson, Supply Chain Director at Record UK
