At Centrado we strive to provide framers across the UK with quality products, excellent customer service and seamless supply. With over 40 years combined experience, we are your reliable and trusted advisor. From glazing solutions and picture frame mouldings to frame backing products and tapes and adhesives, we have a product to suit every requirement. We have our own fleet of vans, our drivers can deliver to a location and time frame to match you and your customer’s need from our three main depots.
In 2019, Centrado expanded into Germany. From our depot in Paderborn we supply glazing and board products across Germany with our own delivery service. For more info visit www.centrado.eu
In 2022, we celebrated 10 years of Centrado and grew to become the largest Framing Materials supplier in the UK.
In 2023, Centrado started a new chapter in new larger purpose-built premises as the company head-quarters in Fenstanton. The new premises have been designed to benefit the entire business and provide a better service for re-stocking the Glasgow and Armagh depots too. The benefits for our customers include increased stock accuracy due to improved storage and control mechanisms, a purpose-built show room facility for all customers and capacity to accommodate more stock and a wider product range. We hope this will allow us to better serve the picture framing industry with enhancements to our quick, reliable and flexible service that is at the heart of the company values.
