The Profit Track 100 league table ranks Britain’s 100 private companies with the fastest-growing profits over their latest three years. It is compiled by Fast Track and published as a supplement in The Sunday Times each April.

CMS is listed in 42nd place in the league table which reflects the strength of its business model as well as the company’s rapid growth over the past decade combined with strong forward orders. In a financial year which has seen profit top £6.5m, the company has increased employee numbers to above 250 and has created a new office in North East England.

Making the Profit Track 100 is a further endorsement of CMS’s achievements and potential, and comes hot on the heels of the firm’s listing in the London Stock Exchange’s Top 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain report.

CMS Window Systems managing director, Andy Kerr, said: “We’re extremely pleased to be named in the Fast Track 100, especially given the high calibre of businesses that we are listed alongside such as The Miller Group, First Utility and Brewdog. The next 12 months is set to be another exciting period as we expand our presence in the housing and commercial sectors across the UK, and boost our aluminium curtain walling market share following the addition of Kawneer systems to our portfolio.”

Based at Castlecary near Glasgow, CMS operates a 15-acre manufacturing and recycling facility as well as having additional recycling and manufacturing capabilities in Kirkcaldy, Fife. The company’s ethos is built around a holistic sustainability strategy and is underpinned by a product range that offers practical energy saving and longevity benefits, which it showcases in its unique Innovation Hub.
