The big tops

Kalzip is the building systems division of Corus that produces aluminium standing seam roof and cladding systems. It is a standalone business unit within Corus with 90% of its business coming from standing seam roofing, and the other 10% from cladding. Managing director Jonathan Clemens says Kalzip is "the daddy of standing seam roofing", a claim backed by the fact that it has been around the longest, for 40 years. The firm has five plants around the world with 550 employees, 149 of whom are based in the UK. It turned over £110m last year with £28m of that coming from the UK market.
