A new showroom and manufacturing facility has been opened by AKW, the specialist provider of accessible bathroom and kitchen solutions. Based in Middlewich, Cheshire, the 26,000 sq ft facility will produce accessible bathroom and kitchen products from across the company’s portfolio. In addition, the site includes offices and a large bathroom and kitchen showroom and client assessment centre, to enable Occupational Therapists, contractors, and other specifiers in the North West to experience AKW’s product range in situ and receive product training as needed.

Located three miles from junction 18 of the M6, AKW’s new production facility follows the acquistion of Contour showers in 2022 ans is EPC A-rated. It features roof mounted solar panels which will generate an estimated 15,000 kWh electricity per year for the site. Pictured at the opening are: Clare Hayward MBE DL High Sheriff of Cheshire, with Nick Parsons, executive chairperson of AKW Holdings Group.

We are very proud of the reputation that AKW has built up over the years for providing high quality inclusive bathroom and kitchen solutions that stand the test of time. With the opening of the Middlewich facility, now even more installers, specifiers and end users across the region will be able to experience the exceptional AKW and understand why our strapline is ‘Life Made Better’.”
