Background

SDI Displays is a longstanding UK manufacturer specialising in innovative store display systems and branded environments. Following rapid growth and increased manufacturing demand, the business needed additional racking infrastructure to optimise production flow and increase working storage capacity.

This requirement followed SDI’s earlier investment into facility expansion, including mezzanine workspace and new machinery, which unlocked higher output levels. The additional racking was a key operational step in supporting that growth trajectory.

The Solution

Union Business Finance facilitated a £115,000 Hire Purchase facility for SDI Displays, enabling them to acquire new racking without liquidating internal capital or disrupting cash flow. The facility was introduced and supported by SDI’s supply partner, Prodek Design & Storage Systems Ltd, who also installed the equipment.

The funding supported:

• Structured storage optimisation
• Improved handling of materials and components
• Reduced warehouse inefficiencies
• Increased operational throughput

The Hire Purchase model allowed SDI to spread acquisition cost over time while retaining full use and benefit of the racking assets immediately.

The Outcome

The introduction of the new racking enabled SDI Displays to:

• Improve manufacturing efficiency
• Optimise inventory organisation
• Support increased production volumes
• Maintain operational momentum during growth

The investment strengthens SDI’s ability to service ongoing demand across sectors including retail, hospitality, and commercial brand installations.
