As 2025 begins, the industry is looking forward to growth, innovation and leadership. AJB Group has positioned itself for a new era through the launch of their new brand; Integra Fire Doors and Panels.
Already well established for its high-quality door frames, the company has expanded its product range to offer the complete package of fire doors and frames. This was not a decision which was made lightly but came from discussions with the industry and ultimately from customer demand. Their order book for 2025 is looking extremely healthy and the addition of Integra to their already strong manufacturing reputation has further enhanced their position within the UK’s woodworking sector. Leading companies in the fit out market have responded enthusiastically to the expansion of this side of the business.
A Bold New Step for AJB Group
Integra Fire Doors and Panels has introduced a comprehensive range of fire doors to complement its established door frames fulfilling the needs of customers who have been asking for a unified solution with the manufacture of both the frames and the doors in house at their Corby factory. The company’s decision to venture into fire door production is a direct response to customer feedback, cementing their commitment to meeting the industry’s evolving demands.
The integration of fire doors into AJB’s offer comes at a crucial time, with the UK’s construction industry seeing a greater emphasis on safety standards and fire compliance. This strategic expansion is not just a product addition but a reflection of the company’s confidence and capability to provide complete, high-quality fire safety solutions.
Commitment to Quality and Certification
A significant part the successful transition into the fire door market is the company’s rigorous attention to testing and certification. All manufacturing processes have been certified to the highest industry standards, ensuring that Integra’s fire doors meet or exceed fire safety regulations. The company has completed all required fire resistance tests, with the doors passing allsecurity tests that are mandatory in the UK market.
Integra’s fire doors have full BM Trada Q Mark certification—a recognised symbol of quality in the fire door sector. This certification is vital for ensuring that the company meets stringent regulatory requirements, making Integra’s products a reliable choice for architects, specifiers and contractors across the industry. The company’s fire doors are now ready for installation in both residential and commercial projects, providing peace of mind and superior fire protection.
State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Process
Integra’s fire doors are manufactured using cutting-edge technology and equipment sourced from industry-leading suppliers. The company’s operations include advanced machinery, such as HOMAG’s beam saw, edge bander and CNC machines for precision door production coupled with Kündig sanding machine for the preparation of flawless fire door assembly.
This combination of machinery, expertise, and process is a cornerstone of Integra’s ability to produce high-quality fire doors efficiently. The use of top-tier equipment ensures that every door meets the exacting standards expected of fire-resistant solutions.
The Leadership Team Behind the Brand
Integra’s expansion into the fire door market is being guided by a team of industry veterans with decades of experience. Lead from the front by CEO, Amarjit Binji, the company has recently appointed two new directors: Sarb Marwa, as Commercial Director with over 30 years of experience in construction, joinery and fire door manufacturing, and Umesh Tailor, as Technical Director with over 37 years of industry experience. Their combined expertise strengthens AJB’s capabilities and reinforces the company’s commitment to becoming a leading player in the fire door sector.
Integra is committed to continuous improvement, ensuring that it remains at the forefront of the fire door industry. Both new directors bring invaluable knowledge in commercial strategy and technical excellence, enabling Integra to navigate the complexities of fire door production while maintaining its focus on quality and compliance.
Meeting Customer Demand with a Full Product Range
AJB Group’s shift into fire doors is also a natural extension of its long-standing reputation for quality door frames. For over 20 years, the company has been supplying some of the UK’s leading construction firms with durable, high-performance door frames. The decision to add fire doors to the portfolio strengthens their ability to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
“Many of our customers asked us to manufacture the doors as well as the frames,” said Amarjit Binji. “This move allows us to provide a complete, end-to-end solution for fire safety and confidence, all while maintaining the high standards of quality we’ve built our reputation on.”
Integra has already received positive feedback from top contractors in the UK, including some of the leading players in London’s fit-out market. These endorsements underscore the demand for a reliable, comprehensive fire door offering that meets both safety and aesthetic requirements.
