Werner increases UK manufacturing capabilities with Maldon factory investment
Sep 22, 2025
Werner, the world’s leading manufacturer of ladder and access solutions, is increasing its UK manufacturing capabilities with the announcement it will be producing some of its most popular lines at its Maldon facility in Essex.
It marks a significant increase in the number of products Werner, a ProDriven Global Brands name, will manufacture in the UK; a major statement of intent in demonstrating Werner’s confidence in the British market.
Among the products being manufactured at Maldon are Werner’s range of TradePRO extension ladders. Constructed in high-grade aluminium and designed to ensure maximum performance for users on site, the EN131-certified TradePRO range of D-Rung and Square Rung ladders are ‘best in class’ products for Werner and a popular choice among tradespeople for their durability and versatility.
Werner has added the following to the existing number of lines already manufactured in the UK:
- Werner TradePRO D-Rung Triple Extension Ladders
- Werner X4 ExtensionPLUS Combination Ladders
- Werner Roof Ladders
Jan Zmrzlik, General Manager, Operations, at Werner said: “We are very happy to confirm the increase in manufacturing at our factory in Maldon. This is a hugely exciting moment for our UK operations and signals the strength of our confidence in the country’s market strength.
“All of the product lines that are now being manufactured at Maldon are designed in the UK too, meaning we can offer a completely ‘British made’ solution to a variety of trades.
“We have made significant investment into our UK operations to enable this move, investment that has also safeguarded jobs for the local area.
“This is very much the first phase of a planned scaling-up of our UK operations, so we look forward to being able to communicate more on this in due course.”
