Originally Dresser was formed in the early 1980s & was conceived by
one of the current directors in his early 20s & wanting to build his
first house he went in search to buy some specialist period mouldings,
unable to find any company in the market able to supply his requirement
he decided to start his own company, supplying architectural &
specialist curved mouldings. Dresser has come a long way from its humble
conception in the back streets of Wigan. The company having established
its routes & identity started to commend respect within the
specialist Architectural market & with Dresser out growing its
humble beginnings in Wigan moved to a new purpose build site in Horwich,
(Bolton) in the late 1980s. From the new site dresser range of products
started to be specified nationwide with Architects, specifies &
especially the pub contractors, these were the boom times for Dresser.
During 2009 the Dresser business split & a new company was formed
from its present location in Rochdale. The new company recruited a
couple of new directors, who having successfully ran other UK
manufacturing sites embarked on taking on the old business, this was a
master stroke as it enabled the business to re-launch with existing
ideas and also bring in new skills from a much larger site, the new site
included assembly line facilities, a vacuum coating paint line, along
with all of the traditional products associated with Dresser Mouldings.
It is clear the changes have helped dresser refocus & expand its
core business but at the same time make the necessary changes to take
dresser forward focusing in on people & technology skills & at
the same time offer a much wider service to its core product range.
