Available from January 2025, the ‘Cub’ door will be manufactured in-house at the company’s recently expanded factory in Wigan, Greater Manchester. It is suitable for door openings up to 4,000mm wide and 3,000mm high. The door is powered by a high-speed motor equipped with an inverter system, providing soft start/stop functionality for smooth and efficient operation. To ensure optimal safety, it features an integrated infrared light curtain within the guide system, offering enhanced protection at the door threshold. This new rapid roll door, which utilises a PVC curtain, is designed to deliver several key benefits, including improved vehicle flow, reduced heat loss, better sound insulation, and protection from automated machinery, making it ideal for internal use. It will be available in a wide range of colours, with the option of a stainless-steel framework for cleanroom separation and food production facilities. Alliance Door Engineering has been supplying its ‘Cheetah’ rapid roll door for nearly two decades. Known for its speed, durability, and ability to perform in demanding environments, the Cheetah door is designed specifically for UK weather conditions and is widely used in areas exposed to strong winds due to its Class 5 wind resistance. Both the Cub and Cheetah doors are built for high-frequency usage, with energy-efficient designs and various contactless activation options. As both products are manufactured in-house, Alliance ensures fast lead times while maintaining high-quality standards.

Alliance Doors Go Green with Significant Investment 2024 has been a milestone year for Alliance Door Engineering, a leading trade supplier of industrial doors and shutters, as it has continued its impressive growth, resulting in significant investments in infrastructure and sustainability. Based in Wigan, Greater Manchester, the company is marking its eighth consecutive year of growth. This success reflects not only strong market demand but also the company’s commitment to innovation, customer service, and continuous improvement. Alliance Door Engineering undertook a major expansion of its operations and production to accommodate the rising demand for its industrial doors and shutters. The company’s existing 17,000 sq. ft. facility was extended by an additional 9,000 sq. ft. This expansion will enable the company to meet growing customer needs, enhance efficiency by incorporating additional machinery, and explore new product lines, including additions to its high-speed door range. The additional space will also create job opportunities, further contributing to the company’s growth. The company’s commitment to sustainability was highlighted by installing solar panels at its facility. Completed in June, this investment has already had a significant impact, with the panels reducing the company’s carbon emissions by over 15.8 tonnes by mid-October. An environmental benefit equivalent to planting 261 trees. This move underscores Alliance Door Engineering’s dedication to reducing its environmental footprint while simultaneously cutting operational costs through energy savings. Now in its 23rd year of trading, Alliance Door Engineering manufactures and supplies the trade with a comprehensive range of industrial doors and shutters, including fire-rated roller shutters, folding doors, rapid roll doors, insulated shutters and traditional single-skin roller shutters.
