In the same year, we launched a new extra-resistant coating on our wire Interior Systems from America, together with new Vinyl Coated Steel Wardrobe frame colours.

Up until 2001, IDS continued to grow at a controlled and sustainable rate. During this five-year period, we only placed three commercial adverts, yet still managed to double our staff and the size of our manufacturing plant to accommodate growth and expansion.

In 2004, we were formally chosen to be a UK distributor and manufacturer for the Raumplus brand, a quality German system that enjoys worldwide popularity. This coincided with IDS’s expansion strategy that embraced new high growth markets, such as New-Build, Hotel Refurbishment and the roll out of more High Street Retailer partnerships.

In response to the markets growing demands for ‘ready to fit’ products, IDS introduced modular hinged door systems for the ‘on-site’ installation that the New Build sector had been seeking for a long time.

Environmental issues have always been paramount to IDS. In 2005, we obtained a commitment from our team, customers and suppliers to recycle our waste glass, steel, aluminium, cardboard and wood in a joint initiative designed to facilitate positive environmental change.

In late 2005, we relocated to a larger plant four times the size of our existing premises. This has enabled us to optimise our manufacturing process and has created the capacity for continued future growth.

In 2007, following a period of outstanding growth we introduced a new prestigious high-end range of doors from the Netherlands. Noteborn is the perfect product to meet the expansion of dynamic new markets and will facilitate even greater growth for IDS.

2008 heralds a new phase in the visionary implantation of our principles: to transform doors into genuine works of art that fulfil an inspirational purpose within the environment of our homes. Historically, doors were highly decorative and symbolic; IDS’s vision is to refresh and modernise this heritage by creating harmonious and beautiful focal points in our contemporary lives.
