Alifabs, founded in 1957, started life supplying aluminium building products and lightweight structures to the construction industry. After specialising in copings, their architectural coping system gained the approval of the British Board of Agrément (BBA). As a result Guttercrest now boast the only BBA tested and certified coping system.

These products will increase Guttercrest’s plans for growth after a £5million investment in a new 40,000 sq ft facility in Shropshire in 2016. The new site compliments the existing 26,000 sq ft site, both of which have been fitted with state-of-the-art technology to streamline processes, reduce lead time, and increase stock availability.
