A1S - now established as a leading manufacturer and supplier of roller shutters in the UK.

Carl Everest started A1S in 1989 to introduce new levels of quality and service to the roller shutter market. Today, Carl is managing director of a highly successful business with a well-established reputation for delivering the highest standards of quality and service - along with excellent value for money.

From an impressive 18.000 sq.ft base in the North West, with modern manufacturing capabilities and a suite of offices, the site also provides a further 14,000 sq ft of storage enabling A1S to offer a nationwide service that delivers on time and to budget.

An innovative approach to product design, combined with substantial investment, has resulted in an impressive range of steel and aluminium shutters - and the more recent introduction of a specialist range of fire shutters too.

This comprehensive product range comes with a full 12 month guarantee and excellent after-sales support. In addition, the full package of services provided by A1S brings the benefit of single source responsibility for both architects and specifiers alike.

Little wonder then that BNFL, Balfour Beatty, United Utilities, Laing O’Rourke, Remploy and many local authorities have chosen A1S to successfully complete their roller shutter projects.

As you would expect, A1S are members of the DHF (Door and Hardware Federation, formerly known as the Door and Shutter Manufacturers Association) and the BBSA (British Blind & Shutter Association). A1S products carry the CE mark and comply with all relevant legislation - and the experienced A1S team are happy to deal with any compliance issues for total peace of mind about the standard of security and safety provided.

“Today, we are still firmly dedicated to working together for mutual growth and benefit. It’s a commitment which continues to reap great rewards.”
