Tucked into the heart of Northern Ireland, in County Antrim, Carrickfergus is a town steeped in history and surrounded by natural beauty. With its historic streets, nearby Belfast Lough, and a close-knit community, Carrickfergus is a place where tradition and innovation sit comfortably side by side. It is also home to something a little less obvious but just as impressive: Fairco’s state-of-the-art production facility.
Our Antrim facility is the backbone of what we do. It’s where premium windows and doors are crafted with care, precision, and a clear commitment to quality. While you may see the finished product beautifully installed in homes across Ireland, it all begins here, with a team that takes pride in every detail.
A purpose-built home for manufacturing excellence
The Antrim production centre was designed from the ground up to deliver consistency, efficiency, and craftsmanship at scale. From the moment materials arrive to the final inspection before dispatch, every stage of the process is carefully planned and monitored.
We manufacture our products using high-grade components supplied by industry leaders like VEKA. Their quality profiles give us the strong, reliable foundation needed to build windows and doors that not only meet expectations but exceed them. VEKA’s reputation for technical performance and sustainability fits seamlessly with Fairco’s values.
Modern machinery with a human touch
Step into the facility and you’ll see a blend of technology and human expertise working in harmony. Our automated cutting and welding machinery ensures tight tolerances, helping us achieve a consistent finish. At the same time, our skilled team inspects, fine-tunes, and finishes each unit with the kind of attention you only get from people who care about their work.
It’s that combination of automation and craftsmanship that allows us to achieve high standards across the board. From sleek aluminium doors to modern uPVC windows, every product is treated with the same level of care.
Built to meet demand, without compromise
With more homeowners investing in energy-efficient, secure, and stylish window and door solutions, demand has never been higher. Our Antrim facility gives us the capacity to respond quickly without sacrificing quality.
Because we handle everything in-house, we can track and improve performance at each stage. That translates to faster turnaround times, fewer delays, and more consistent results. It also means we are able to offer supply-only options through Fairco Direct, giving trade customers access to premium products without the premium wait.
Third-party testing, internal standards
Every product that leaves Antrim is subject to strict quality checks. We don’t rely on assumptions or cut corners. From security performance to weather resistance, we test to exceed Irish building standards.
Many of our products carry PAS 24 certification, ensuring they meet rigorous guidelines for security. But beyond third-party validation, we have our own internal benchmarks that must be met before anything leaves the factory. It’s how we maintain confidence in the quality we promise to every customer.
Sustainability in practice
Sustainability isn’t a buzzword at Fairco. It’s a commitment. At our Antrim facility, we continually refine our processes to reduce waste, lower emissions, and use recyclable materials wherever possible. Our partnership with VEKA also plays a role here, as their profiles are designed for long-term durability and recyclability.
We know that building homes people love shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. That’s why we look for ways to make every stage of production smarter and greener.
The OMNIA Flush innovation
Fairco has invested significantly in upgrading our Antrim production facility, introducing a new suite of advanced machinery specifically designed for the manufacture of our OMNIA Flush range. This allows us to produce this range with enhanced efficiency, allowing us to deliver exceptional quality more quickly and at a better value for our customers.
Furthermore, this investment reflects our commitment to innovation and precision, allowing us to craft every OMNIA Flush window and door with unmatched consistency and detail.

A team that makes the difference
Behind every high-performance window or door is a team of professionals who believe in what they do. From experienced fabricators to dedicated quality control specialists, our people are what set Fairco apart.
Many of our team members have been with us for years. They know the products inside and out and bring an incredible level of skill to their work. That consistency is a big reason why homeowners and trade partners trust us. It’s not just about the equipment we use. It’s about the people who make it all happen.
Why Antrim matters
We could have placed our production facility anywhere. But Antrim offered something special. A community with strong values. A location with great infrastructure. And a place where we could build not just a factory, but a foundation for quality and trust.
We’re proud to be part of the Antrim community and to bring something lasting to the town. Every product we build here carries a little bit of that pride out into the world.
Visit. Discover. Experience.
Whether you’re a homeowner exploring new windows or a trade partner looking for reliability, our Antrim facility stands as proof of what happens when you care deeply about what you make.
