The high demand for replacement windscreens at the beginning of the year, following the UK’s worst winter in 30 years, has led to a national shortage of windscreens, reports the automotive glazing services company Auto Windscreens.
Auto Windscreens has increased production by, more than 40% at its own windscreen factory in order to fill the gaps left by other suppliers. Production at Auto Windscreens factory has now increased to 600 windscreens a day.
Nigel Davies, Auto Windscreens sales and marketing director commented: “It’s unusual to have a national shortage of windscreens and we’ve certainly not come across it before. Auto Windscreens is in the fortunate and unique position, however, that we can simply add another shift at our factory and increase production on popular windscreen models to meet demand and manage the delays.”
