COOKSTOWN-headquartered Trade Mouldings Distribution Ltd, has officially opened its £10 million, 76,000 sq ft showroom and distribution centre in Rochdale.

The family-run company, which employs around 150 people, has been manufacturing for the furniture industry for over 40 years. It unveiled the new greater Manchester premises on Thursday.

It follows recent investments in a new 25,000 sq ft showroom and distribution centre at its Cookstown base and a 30,000 sq ft showroom and distribution centre in Dublin.

Trade Mouldings specialises in kitchen, bedroom and bathroom unit doors and accessories. The new showrooms will carry a diverse range of products produced in-house, as well as a variety of gloss and matt painted ranges from Italian suppliers, including Slab and J-Pull.

Damien Connolly, sales director at Trade Mouldings said: “We are already reaping the rewards of being able to service retailers across the UK and Ireland and the addition of our Rochdale showroom and distribution centre will help us meet demand.

“Our extended warehouse facilities allow us to keep sufficient stock of all our existing ranges and carry more product lines. We are delighted to be launching a series of new product ranges at the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom exhibition at the national exhibition centre (NEC) Birmingham in March 2020.”

The Mayor of Rochdale, councillor Billy Sheerin added: “I am delighted to have been invited to the official opening of this exciting new development in our town.

“As mayor it is important to provide civic support to Trade Mouldings, who will play a vital role in our economic future. I wish the company and the new showroom huge success in the future.”
