Vanquish Hardware Protection, the UK’s leading manufacturer of precision-engineered intumescent kits for rebated hardware in timber fire door assemblies, has announced significant expansion plans for the first quarter of 2026.
The Salisbury-based business has acquired a new warehouse unit just a few doors from its main headquarters, its third unit on the site, which will provide essential production capacity to support growing demand.
The additional space will allow Vanquish to relocate its warehousing and packing operations, freeing up valuable room within the main facility for a planned fourth extrusion line scheduled for delivery early next year.
This extra capacity is central to enabling Vanquish to introduce several new product lines, all of which are currently undergoing rigorous testing and certification, which will be unveiled next year and are designed to meet evolving market requirements across a broader range of fire-protection applications.
David Sutcliffe, Managing Director at Vanquish Hardware Protection, said the investment marks a major milestone in the company’s long-term growth strategy.
“This upgrade directly addresses our current space constraints and gives us the platform we need to support an expanding product range. It’s a clear signal of our continued long-term investment in UK manufacturing and a commitment to the future of the business.”
The newly acquired unit requires a full fit out, before it’s fully operational. Completion of the works is expected by the end of February, at which point the business will begin repositioning its warehouse ahead of the installation of the new extrusion line.
“While we’ve built a reputation as specialists in hardware protection for fire doors, our manufacturing expertise extends far beyond that,” explained David. “Our proficiency in extrusion technology and deep understanding of intumescent materials allow us to respond to shifting market demands and provide solutions for a broader range of requirements.”
Vanquish’s expanded infrastructure will also support further diversification, allowing the company to develop bespoke solutions. Its service offering continues to include full technical support, from concept to implementation, alongside custom product development, general extrusion capabilities, and specialist cutting facilities for tailored sizing and shapes.
“With more than 30 years of passive fire-protection expertise, this is an exciting new chapter for Vanquish,” added Mike Sutcliffe, Sales Director. “The expansion will allow us to build new partnerships, enter new markets and enhance our offer to existing customers.”
