About Us

Union Industries is the trading title of Ralph Ellerker (1795) Ltd. We are quite possibly the best bespoke manufacturing company in the World! We believe in exceeding normal expectations of quality & service.

We are based in a fabulous factory in Leeds, Yorkshire, in the north of England, where old meets new in the fusion of Union Industries’ charming old manufacturing workshops and office that houses the latest in 21st century technology, equipment and design expertise. 

Our customers benefit from a highly trained, skilled and long standing workforce. The result – Union Industries produce industrial roller door products of truly enviable quality and with a service back-up second to none. We are the best because of the excellence of the people we employ.

Come and see how our doors are made. We are more than happy to schedule you in for a factory tour to see our high quality manufacturing facilities and unique offices!

People come for the cobbled courtyard, but stay for the doors (and sausage rolls…)

In 2014 our founders Mr & Mrs S took the decision to safeguard the future of the company in Leeds by transitioning to an Employee Owned (EO) structure where the majority of company shares are held by the Union Industries Employee Ownership Trust.

Under Union Industries’ EO scheme, every employee can buy their own shares in the company in addition to being beneficiaries of the EO Trust. New starters who join the company are also given shares after 12 months of employment.

The business has continued to go from strength to strength. Although Union Industries has always boasted a committed workforce, becoming Employee Owned has further empowered its team.

Customer Testimonials

“The engineers last week did a brilliant job, very professional and a great advert for your company.”

Maintenance Engineer

“The reasons for selecting Union doors were due to previous experience with them and how impressed I was by the build quality of the product, the excellent service department response to callouts and after visiting your offices the spares stock holding you retain to support the customers.”

Regional Engineering / Property Manager

“Doors are the best on the market.”

Site Services Manager

“Can you please pass on my gratitude to all at Union for the excellent service and installation of the new doors here at Warminster. The team of installers have done a first class job.”

Site Engineering Manager

“The Union Guys have been fantastic throughout the four days that they have been on site. I was very impressed with how efficient they carried out the work from start to finish.”

Services Manager

“I like the fact that these doors are built in the UK and are built to last. The most appealing thing for myself was the way the customer can repair and be back up and running immediately should they get hit, our last door would be out of action for days and a 12 week wait on parts!!”

Facilities & Services Manager

“Bulldoors were fitted on site because of their excellent reliability and robust design – one of the Union Industries Bulldoors has completed more cycles than all the other doors put together and we have not had any issues with it.”

Maintenance Manager

“All in all, our experience with Union Industries has been nothing other than a pleasure, we would highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking about purchasing a high-speed door, people, products and after care all top notch.”
