East Coast Fittings has invested about £1m extending its Leicestershire facilities to provide storage space for its range of cabinet doors.

The company, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, has leased an additional 17,000ft2 of space at the Rearsby site to carry stocks of its nine ranges of vinyl-wrapped doors for the kitchen market, as well as other products.

The site, which East Coast moved into last April in a £3m investment, now extends to 80,000ft2.

Managing director Derek Goodman said the extension has also allowed East Coast to bring carcase and mitre-frame door production in-house.

Other products carried by East Coast include internal cabinet wirework, an extensive selection of handles and other decorative hardware, the entire Blum range of fittings, internal storage systems and Hera lighting products.

The company, which is also completing a showroom, is planning an anniversary event in August to celebrate its 25th year and the 2004 move to the current site. East Coast previously operated from four different sites in Leicester.
