About SWS UK
SWS UK is a leading British manufacturer of physical security products with a reputation for innovation and unrivalled customer service.
Established in 1985 and operating from Lancaster premises, the company has grown quickly; expanding the workforce to almost 200 employees and necessitating a move in December 2000 to the present Claughton, Lancashire manufacturing base.
The company's dedicated Research & Development dept. continues to refine the product range, ensuring SWS UK's security shutters, retractable gates, window bars and roller garage doors are always at the forefront of technology. In addition to enhancing the existing range, there is also a focus on developing exciting new lines; the SWS UK selection of Police approved 'Secured by Design' products continues to broaden despite already being the most comprehensive range available from any security manufacturer.
The history of SWS UK is highlighted by a number of important industry firsts:
| 1997 | SeceuroBar removable window bar system: new product award winner at Ifsec security expo. |
| 1997 | Turned security expertise to the garage door market, launching SeceuroGlide, the first insulated garage door for specialists in the UK. |
| 1999 | Became the UK’s sole distributor of the off-the-shelf Xpanda range of economically priced security. |
| 2001 | Launched SeceuroGlide Compact, the UK’s first low headroom insulated roller garage door. |
| 2003 | Introduced continental commercial shutters, combining traditional steel shutters with aluminium boxes and guides for higher grade, easier installations. |
| 2005 | First UK shutter and roller garage door manufacturer to comply with the EU’s Construction Products Directive safety standards. |
| 2007 | Launched SeceuroGlide Excel, the first and only Police and Insurance approved garage door on the market. |
Another cornerstone of SWS UK's success is its national network of specialist distributors. Working in partnership to supply, install and support, distributors provide a trusted, experienced and local source for the SWS UK product range.
