Regency Glass, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of insulated glass units (IGUs), is embarking on an exciting new chapter in its history following a significant strategic investment from business acquisition compounder CorpAcq, alongside a landmark relocation to a new 420,000 sq. ft facility at Omega Business Park, Warrington.
CorpAcq, the investment group specialising in investments in well-established, stable, and cash-generative SMEs in the UK, has acquired a majority stake in Regency Glass. This investment will provide long-term stability and will underpin Regency’s ambitious expansion plans over the coming years.
A Strong and Trusted Relationship
The acquisition also rekindles a strong and trusted relationship. CorpAcq has previously partnered successfully with Regency Glass and is excited to support the company’s growth journey once again.
Wayne Fitzmartin, Chief Operating Officer, Regency Glass, commented, “CorpAcq has been a trusted partner in Regency’s journey before, and we’re proud to be back in business with them once again. Their investment is more than financial; it’s a vote of confidence in our people, our products, and our future. With their support, we are in the strongest position yet to deliver on our vision for the UK glazing market.”
“Regency Glass is a high-quality business with an experienced management team that we believe has great potential. We are looking forward to supporting the team through its next phase of growth.” Said David Martin, CEO, CorpAcq.
Major Relocation to Omega Business Park, Warrington
With CorpAcq’s support, Regency Glass is pressing ahead with a major relocation of the business to Warrington. The move from its existing 110,000 sq. ft. site in Leigh, Greater Manchester, to a brand-new 420,000 sq. ft. facility at Omega Business Park, designed to EPC A standards and awarded a BREEAM Excellent rating, currently stands as the largest single-site lease completed in the North West of England this year.
Initially, plans were in place to relocate to c.125,000 sq. ft of industrial and logistics space across two newly developed units at Indurent Park Trident in Warrington. However, with demand for Regency’s newest product, Regency Triple featuring Corning® Enlighten™ Glass, continuing to surge, it became clear that a larger, consolidated facility was the right solution.
What sets the Regency Triple apart is its leap forward in insulated-glass unit (IGU) technology, developed in collaboration with Corning Incorporated, a world-leading innovator in glass, ceramics, and materials science. This ultra-thin glass triple-glazed unit delivers real-world benefits across fabrication, installation, and performance. Its ultra-thin profile fits seamlessly into a 28mm cavity, making it ideal for the replacement window market. Meanwhile, its lightweight design reduces weight by 30% compared to conventional triple-glazed units, and it is only 5% heavier than standard double-glazed units, making it easier to handle on site. The Regency Triple also offers enhanced thermal performance, improving energy efficiency without the need for costly or bulky frame modifications. With design flexibility through custom cavity widths using Thermo Plastic Spacer bar (TPS®) and the exceptional thermal durability of Corning® Enlighten™ Glass protecting against field thermal breakage, the Regency Triple sets a new benchmark in both quality and performance.
Indurent, a leading developer, owner, and operator of industrial and logistics space across the UK, have worked closely with Regency Glass to make this ambitious move a reality, ensuring the new site delivers the scale and infrastructure required for the company’s next phase of growth.
“We are incredibly excited for this next chapter in Regency’s story. Although we’re leaving our longstanding home in Leigh, we carry our roots with us. This move represents an opportunity the business truly deserves. It’s a chance for our entire team to be part of something extraordinary, scaling up in a way that will change the UK glazing market,” said Darren Beazant, CEO, Regency Glass.
The new Warrington site will future-proof operations, expand production capacity on an unprecedented scale, and create a platform for enhanced innovation, efficiency, and sustainability. Once fully operational, Regency Glass will be the largest single-site IGU manufacturer in the UK, and one of the most advanced worldwide.
Hannah Bryan-Williams, Senior Customer & Leasing Manager at Indurent, commented: "This relocation and significant upsize is a great example of how Indurent works in partnership with its customers to support their growth. By understanding Regency Glass’ evolving needs, we were able to provide a flexible solution that offers the scale, sustainability, and quality required for their next phase of expansion at Omega West."
The Warrington facility also offers excellent transport links, enhancing Regency’s distribution capabilities and enabling faster, more efficient service to customers across the UK.
A Milestone for the UK Glazing Industry
Together, the acquisition and relocation mark a milestone not just for Regency Glass but for the wider UK glazing industry, setting new benchmarks in scale, capability, and ambition. With CorpAcq’s backing and a state-of-the-art new home, Regency Glass is poised for a future defined by growth, innovation, and leadership.
Till AM, Knight Frank LLP, Gateley Legal and BCLP supported the successful completion of this relocation. Indurent’s retained agents are DTRE, B8 and CCP.
