Strong expansion helps Northampton PVC manufacturer boost employment

Northampton-based Freefoam Plastics, the UK subsidiary of an Irish-owned manufacturer of PVC building products, has recorded a very strong growth over the past few years, and now, it’s announced plans to extend its operations, leading to 40 new jobs being created in the process.

According to a news report, the company has seen a growth in sales from £4m to £25.4m, along with a staff increase from 18 to 90, since it set up its Northampton base, back in 2001. Following this impressive level of success, Freefoam Plastics, which originally occupied one building in St James Mill Road, expanded into nearby premises in 2005 and has now acquired three neighbouring sites with a view to further expansion.
