General Building Plastics, a leading independent supplier of high-quality PVC building products, is proudly celebrating its 35th anniversary this year.
Since opening its doors in 1990, the business has grown from a single branch to six locations across the Midlands, serving both trade and DIY customers with a reputation for quality, value and customer care. Founded on the principle of delivering quality goods at a fair price, the BMF member has become a trusted partner to thousands of builders, installers, regional developers and homeowners.
Over the past three and a half decades, the company has weathered industry challenges, expanded its product range, and continued to invest in its people, sites and systems.
Reflecting on the milestone, CEO Matt Wedderkopp said: “Reaching 35 years is an achievement that belongs to every member of our team, past and present, and to our loyal customers who’ve been with us along the way. In a fast-changing industry, we’ve stayed true to what makes us different – being independent, nimble, and genuinely customer-focused.”
He continued: “As an independent merchant, we’ve always had the freedom to adapt quickly, whether that’s bringing in new products, embracing sustainability, or improving the way we serve our customers. That independence, combined with the dedication of our people, has been key to our success.”
Looking ahead, General Building Plastics reports it is set to continue its focus on sustainable growth, with ongoing commitments to its ISO9001 quality management and ISO14001 environmental standards, ensuring it delivers not only great products and service but also a responsible approach to the environment.
“We’ve built our reputation over 35 years by doing things the right way,” added Matt. “Our goal now is to build on that foundation – investing in our branches, supporting our staff, and making sure our customers can always rely on us, whether they’ve been with us 30 years or 30 days.”
