The fact that many apartments and houses have plastic windows is no secret. That they are in great demand, too. How to organize the production of plastic windows is of interest to many, because it is a very profitable and popular type of business. The answer is simple - study the market (both supply and demand), a business plan, investments and study of the issue.
Business investment
First of all - the room. After all, production is not only the sale of plastic windows, but also their manufacture. The room must be at least 200 squares, otherwise it will be difficult to place all the equipment. The issue price for a room depends on the region and location. Rent, purchase or construction is a personal matter of every businessman. On average, renting one square meter of area costs from 3 to 7 thousand rubles.
In addition to the premises, all documentation is needed (from registration of activities to permits of various authorities). The average cost in the country is 15-60 thousand rubles.
And of course, not a single production has been complete without special factory machines. Equipment for the production of plastic windows can be purchased both from domestic manufacturers and from foreign ones. The latter are more expensive, but they work more stable and easier to maintain. The equipment includes:
- saws that cut plastic (window profile),
- saws that cut metal reinforcement,
- drainage machines
- screwdrivers
- copy milling machines,
- end milling machines,
- welding machines,
- Stripping machines
- bead cutter,
- glazing machine.

your business: the production of plastic windows [/ caption]
This is a list of only the main machines for the production of plastic windows. A full set of equipment from a domestic manufacturer can cost 250-400 thousand rubles. Foreign equivalents are many times more expensive. It is worth considering how big your project will be. The number of required sets depends on this, and hence the starting amount.
And of course, the workers. A lot of work depends on them. Only those with solid experience in this field should be hired. At the initial stage, 6-9 people are enough. Of these, several should deal with installing windows to clients, if you will provide such a service yourself, without intermediaries. If the plans are solely for sale, without installing by you, then the staff may be less at first.
In addition, the consumable material from which the products will be made. Ideally, the purchase of basic elements from domestic manufacturers, and small elements (such as accessories and other things) - abroad. Favorite Country - Germany. The quality of the parts is on top, the price is acceptable. About 5-10 dollars per set for one window.
Income, profitability, payback
With a fairly small investment (about half a million rubles in total at the initial stage), payback occurs a few months after work. The main thing is to interest the buyer, establish a reasonable price (ideally, lower than that of competitors), to enter the market.
The production of plastic windows brings a steady income - about 300 thousand rubles of net profit per month. A huge plus is the fact that it is your workers who will put windows to customers. Exclusively upon sale, income may be lower.
Profitability of the case is 300%. Important: your production must surpass competitors: in quality or in price - it depends only on your capabilities and strengths. With stable operation, profitability will be just that.
Business features
The production technology of plastic windows is simple: cutting all the elements, removing all unnecessary parts, preparing the hardware, in fact, installing the latter. It is important that employees comply with the technique, perform their work efficiently and accurately. For each stage of work, its own equipment is intended, which means that it is worth buying a complete set without saving on it. It is difficult to get a decent and competitive product without good machines and workers.
It is also important that advertising is needed. Customers need to know you, your services, prices, quality and craftsmanship. The staff simply needs to accept the person who will do this. Ideally, he should know about competitors, about supply and demand in the market, come up with an advertising campaign that no one will pass by.
Another important point - most of the work will be in the spring, summer and autumn. Get ready for the fact that in winter there will be no orders at all or negligible. In order for your employees not to go to other companies, they need to be stimulated before the end of the season. Otherwise, different people will conduct your production of plastic windows every year, which may affect the quality and, therefore, demand.
Pros and cons of a window project
The undoubted advantages include profitability and profitability. With relatively small investments, monthly expenses, the result is a chic result. In order for the business to work as a plus, you need to organize it correctly. This can only be done if you have fully studied the issue, the market and invested in good advertising.
In addition, the plus is the fact that the business is in demand and will remain so for many years. The popularity of just such windows is due to the fact that they are relatively inexpensive, durable, easy to operate and maintain, and easily fit into any interior. Buyers for such goods will not be transferred.
Of the shortcomings, it should be noted high competition, large investments in original advertising, seasonality. To get a stable profit from the production of plastic windows, you need to earn so much during the season that in winter you do not have to suffer from a lack of funds.
You can’t get down to business without an accurate plan. Study in your region all aspects for the development of business in this area, draw up a project, and only then invest. The competition is great, but demand is not falling. If you manage to occupy your niche, the business will be doomed to success.
