Areco was founded in the mid 1960s by former roofing contractors Ralph Stride and Charlie Jones. Ralph and Charlie identified a need for a quicker, neater alternative to traditional welted drips and Aluminium Trim was born. The business grew quickly and soon they were selling trim by the ton to well known manufacturers and contractors of the day. Soon associated products such as breather vents and roof drains followed and in the early 1990s our renowned Glasstrim GRP Trim brand was launched. Glasstrim is still our best selling line today. Upon Ralph's retirement in 1994, the business was sold to current owners, the family run Watts Clift Holdings Ltd,who have made consistent investment in the Company. Sustained growth forced a move to our current large premises in Aldridge in early 2005, where the business has continued to thrive by continually adding new, innovative and high quality products to our range.
