About Us
From our manufacturing facility in Telford, Shropshire; we work with customers across the UK to provide high quality and specialist doors suited to their projects. We are part of the Novoferm UK group of companies, ultimately owned by the Sanwa Corporation of Japan. Sanwa are a global leader in the manufacture, supply and installation of pedestrian, industrial and domestic door systems.
Horton Automatics Ltd was established over 30 year ago in the UK. Our original founder, Horton Automatics of the USA was in 1960, the originator of America’s first powered pedestrian sliding door (creating a new industry), so we have a wealth of industry experience.
Horton in the USA are also part of the Sanwa Corporation, so although we are no longer directly owned by our US founder our links and supply chain remain intact and solid.
We offer a full supply and installation service for our products throughout the UK, taking care of our customers from initial enquiry, survey/project management, manufacture and installation. Continuing to care for the product during its warranty period. Following this our sister company Bolton Gate Services Ltd (Horton Auto Door Services) will take care of ongoing planned and reactive service and maintenance requirements.
