Opening doors to the future - Innovation in the Construction Industry

Nigel invented the first ever weather-sealed folding door system which changed domestic architecture forever and revolutionised the outdoor lifestyle.  External folding doors became so popular, Centor grew from just 23 staff in 1998 to over 160 in just over a decade. This growth allowed Centor to expand overseas to the UK and America.

Centor’s commitment to innovation is driving change in the way they operate and continues to create market-leading products such as retractable screen and blind system for large scale bifold doors. Share the story of Centor’s journey from a struggling family business to an innovative global business.
