Union Industries, the UK’s leading manufacturer of bespoke industrial roller doors, has secured repeat business from a historic Hertfordshire bakery firm. Leeds-based Union first supplied and installed two of its Bulldoors at Dorringtons in Sawbridgeworth in 2005. Bosses at the bakery were so pleased with the quality and longevity of these external doors, which are on external openings to the finished goods area, that they looked no further than Union Industries for a door for its latest project.
