Neil Ginger founder and designer of the Origin Easifold bifolding door range talks through how Origin has become the market leader for the sliding folding door market.

UK-based sliding folding door manufacturer Origin has become the first in the industry to remove lead times on a selection of its Easifold door systems.

It is the second industry-leading development by the Buckinghamshire-based company which recently introduced a 20-year guarantee on its Easifold door systems, and one which is already receiving plaudits from installers.

Origin, the UK’s leading manufacture of bi-fold folding sliding doors will be showcasing the latest designs and demonstrating how they are they are setting new standards in quality and design.

Britain’s temperate climate is a plus if you’re averse to weather extremes, a minus if you’re looking for any degree of reliability in it. Its tendency to be temperamental makes it difficult to capitalise on the outdoor experience.

But the British stiff upper lip and eternal optimism about the weather outlook has helped to drive the popularity of indoor/outdoor living as never before. This manifests itself in rising sales, despite the current economic climate, of outdoor furniture, decking, summer houses, and that medium between the indoors and outdoors – patio doors.

In the best spirit of entrepreneurship, Origin is a little like a Victor Kiam company.

Just as the late American businessman did when he bought Remington because he liked their shavers so much, when Neil Ginger found he couldn’t get great aluminium folding sliding doors for his building projects, he decided to make his own.

UK-based folding and sliding door manufacturer Origin is bucking the trend and countering talk of a double-dip recession by doubling the size of its operation to meet the growing demand for its Easifold door systems.

Origin’s 30,000ft² recently extended state-of-the-art factory in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, will more than double the size of the plant, and together with a doubling of the workforce, enable the company to offer shorter lead times than any other supplier.
