Two highly equipped production facilities totalling 65,000 sqft are dedicated to the manufacture of rainscreen cladding panels and fabrications.
The manufacturing facilities incorporate some of the very latest manufacturing machinery, including one of the few Pullmax 720 machines in Europe configured to enable fully automatic batch production of blanks. Two further new CNC controlled brake presses provide panels folded to the tightest tolerances. New sophisticated CNC flatbed routers have dramatically increased capacity for bulk production of aluminium composite material (ACM) rainscreen panels. These are optically flat over longer panel lengths than traditional manufacturing in monolithic materials.
All punch, shear, press and rolling machines are 4000mm long allowing Sotech to manufacture panels and flashings that are larger than the industry standards. Larger components mean a reduction in the quantities required and reduced installation times on site.
Sotech has made significant advances in fabrication utilising natural materials such as copper, zinc andstainless steel along with pre finished materials, particularly pre-coated aluminium and aluminium composite materials (ACM), providing architects, designers and contractors greater scope in design and material choice.
With an overall capacity of up to 6,500m2 per week; Sotech continues to be the leading provider of engineered rainscreen cladding panels and fabrications.
