Twinfix

What Twinfix does

Twinfix is a privately held, family-owned UK manufacturer and installer of canopy, walkway, shelter, and roof glazing systems, founded in 1990 and headquartered in Warrington, England. The company's core technology is the Multi-Link-Panel Non-Fragile (NF) roof glazing system, which achieves the highest Class B rating under HSE ACR[M]001:2019 for polycarbonate roof glazing and is widely specified across the UK rail network. The portfolio extends to the Alu-Link-Panel aluminium roofing system, the Multi-Click vertical glazing system, the Solar-Link-Panel integrated photovoltaic canopy, Brise Soleil solar shading, and a wide range of finished products including entrance canopies, cycle shelters, bus shelters, loading bay canopies, and covered walkways. All design, structural calculations, manufacturing (CNC saws, profile machining, TIG/MIG welding), and installation are performed in-house, supported by a dedicated UK-wide delivery fleet and CSCS-certified/DBS-checked installation teams.

Twinfix generates revenue primarily through bespoke, project-based contracts covering design, manufacture, and installation of these systems, priced per project after consultation with the client. The go-to-market is sales-led and specification-driven, targeting architects, specifiers, principal contractors, and end clients directly through CPD seminars, a technical Resource Hub (CAD drawings, NBS specifications, BIM objects), case study content, and a project enquiry portal. Customer segments are concentrated in nine verticals: education, rail and transport, healthcare, retail and commercial, Ministry of Defence, airports, warehouse and industrial, local authorities, and leisure and hospitality, with named clients including Network Rail, NHS, the Ministry of Defence, Manchester City Council, and several retail and hospitality chains. The business operates under multiple accreditations (BSI ISO 9001, CHAS, Constructionline Gold, UKCA / BS EN 1090-1, Rooflight Association membership) and provides 10-year warranties on installed systems, supporting a recurring post-installation support relationship with its client base.
