WHERE MANUFACTURING MEETS HERITAGE
Hemsec is proud to be officially Made in Britain, a mark of quality that connects nearly 100 years of UK-based manufacturing with a future-focused commitment to domestic production.
Our Story and Heritage, High-Quality British Manufacturing
Founded in 1928, Hemsec began by manufacturing insulated cabinets for ice-cream makers. Over the decades, we’ve grown into one of the UK’s most experienced manufacturers of insulated panels. From our long-standing base in Merseyside, we continue to deliver technically advanced products for modern construction and controlled environments. Our legacy combines tradition with innovation, supporting our customers with confidence and reliability.

Made in Britain Membership
We are proud to be members of the Made in Britain organisation. This independent, non-profit body represents UK manufacturers who meet strict criteria for origin, transparency, and ethical practice. For our customers, it brings clear assurance of quality, trust and a traceable supply chain.
Why Choose British-Made Panels from Hemsec?
- Financial benefits
By manufacturing and distributing within the UK, we eliminate import duties, reduce freight delays, and shorten delivery times. Our domestic production model ensures more reliable lead times and fewer unexpected costs.
- Confidence built on experience
With nearly a century of British manufacturing expertise, our panels meet leading technical standards, including LPCB and BBA. Whether you are specifying insulated panels for cold storage, cleanrooms or modern construction, our products are backed by decades of proven performance
- Transparent and responsible supply chain
UK-based production gives us greater control over sourcing, sustainability and quality at every step. This supports our environmental goals and ensures compliance with national building standards and customer expectations.
- High-quality British manufacturing
In 2023, we opened a new 84,000 sq ft site in Huyton, Merseyside. Just minutes from our Rainhill headquarters, this new facility has doubled our production capacity for structural insulated panels. It also supports local employment and helps us respond faster to customer demand across the UK.
