New Ultrafab location in Spartanburg, South Carolina

Excellent conditions for further growth 

The new production facility at 130 Caliber Ridge offers significantly more space for production, storage, and administration on a total area of around 10,600 square meters. Thanks to its convenient location on Interstate 85 and its proximity to the inland port and airport, the site is ideally situated to supply North American customers. The spacious premises – around 5,000 square meters for production, 5,000 square meters for storage, and 560 square meters for administration – create the perfect conditions for further growth.

Real added value for customers

Many window and door manufacturers, and thus Ultrafab/Roto customers, are concentrating their production in the southeastern United States. They benefit directly from the larger Ultrafab location in Spartanburg.

With the move to Spartanburg, the production lines for window and door weatherseals will be consolidated in one location. This will allow the expertise and experience of the employees to be optimally pooled. The aim is to establish a competence center for weatherseal solutions. This consolidation promotes synergies that further advance both development and production to strengthen Ultrafab’s position as a North American technological leader. The new location offers space for up to 50 machines for manufacturing weatherseals. Production can take place around the clock, five days a week.

The relocation of machinery and related equipment to the new plant in Spartanburg will free up additional space at Ultrafab's headquarters in Farmington, New York. This space will be used specifically to integrate modern technologies and innovative processes that will support several new product launches in the “Extruded Components” and “Specialty Products” divisions. In addition, there are plans to establish comprehensive production cells for new product lines that will be launched in 2026.

Efficiency and quality

Concentrating production at the new location makes it possible to optimize economies of scale and efficiency. Modern automation technologies further optimize production and logistics processes. This increases productivity and ensures consistently high product quality

Future-proofing through space reserves 

Another advantage of the new location is the generous space reserves. They offer sufficient room for future expansion, so that even with increasing demand and further innovations, additional production capacities and new technologies can be easily integrated.

Everything from a single source: weatherseals and hardware

In addition to manufacturing weatherseals, Roto window and door hardware is also stored in Spartanburg. These are produced at Roto Frank of America in Chester, Connecticut, and Roto Fasco Canada (Mississauga, Ontario), and some are supplied from international Roto plants. This creates a perfect match for customers: weatherseals and hardware are not only technically optimally matched but can now also be ordered from a single location and picked up together. This greatly simplifies the delivery process, increases reliability, and ensures that customers can complete their projects faster, more precisely, and with maximum planning security.

Festive opening

In mid-April, the new plant was officially inaugurated together with customers, partners, and the workforce. Roto management highlighted North America as a key growth market and emphasized the strategic importance of the location for providing even closer regional customer support. “The new Ultrafab facility is another milestone in our long-term commitment to North America,” emphasizes Marcus Sander, CEO of Roto Window and Door Technology. “With this investment, we are strengthening our local system expertise. It is a key component in consistently achieving the perfect match between hardware and seals and offering our customers optimally tailored solutions. “The new distribution center for Roto hardware and Ultrafab sealing products will operate on the same 24/5 schedule as manufacturing at the site,” shared Alan DeMello, President & CEO of Ultrafab. “This provides our customers with a high degree of flexibility because they can pick up orders whenever it fits into their workflow, regardless of traditional shipping schedules.”
