About Us

Founded in 1970, JR Industries is Europe’s principal manufacturer of vehicle roller shutter doors. Our company’s headquarters are in Caerphilly, Wales, and we also have manufacturing facilities in both France and Germany, as well as a European agency network.

JR Industries was set up by Jack Robinson and at launch we had just five employees. Now we employee well over 100 people in our head office and European manufacturing facilities.

The company is run by a highly experienced team namely Gareth Philips (Group Managing Director), Paul Lindley (Group Finance Director) supported by Robin Howard and Len Smith (Directors).

The company’s success can be attributed to the hard work of a great team, and our ability to produce top quality, bespoke products for our customers. You tell us what you need; we will adapt our products to your requirements. 

Our experienced team are continually looking for ways to improve and fine-tune our products. From a standard wide slat Dry Freight & Insulated  shutters to specialist doors for firefighting vehicles, our focus is on innovation in shutter door design.

We don’t believe our job comes to an end once a door leaves our factories either. We have set up a comprehensive network of service agents and distributors to ensure you can get support where and when you need it.

We currently manufacture over 20 different kinds of shutter doors and 3,000+ different parts.

JR Industries is fully owned by Sdiptech AB since January 2024, Sdiptech is a technology group that acquires and develops companies within the infrastructure sector with solutions that contributes to more sustainable, efficient and safe societies.
