Fife aluminium and metal company expanding to Glenrothes

Specialists in architectural aluminium and metal products, the Fife Aluminium and Metal Company, has grown significantly over the last few years.

28th October 2024

Founded in 2017 by owner, Dale Robertson, he worked from a unit in The Avenue, Lochgelly which he soon outgrew. With increased orders and new contracts, Dale looked for new premises that could fulfil the needs of the expanding business. He has now secured two units at Queensway Business Park in Glenrothes.

The business currently employs five people and provides specialist architectural aluminium and metal products including fascia and soffits, cladding and pressing, rainwater systems and vison skylights.

Dale explained, “The move to Glenrothes has meant we have increased the floorspace by 150 per cent. This will allow us to handle more contracts efficiently and expand the team by recruiting another two sheet metal workers to meet the demands of the business. I’d like to thank Business Gateway Fife and the Employability Team at Fife Council for all their help during this process. They made the transition much easier.”

Catherine Bartle, Business Adviser at Business Gateway Fife, who gave Dale one to one advice on all aspects of the business, commented, “It’s great to see Dale move into the bigger premises. His knowledge and reputation for supplying high quality products mean he is constantly in demand. I was delighted to be able to support him with a Net Zero application for a portable extraction fan and funding from our Specialist Business Advice programme for HR Administration support.”
