Sales Director, Jon Head explains:
“It’s been a busy time for Simpson
Strong-Tie, with all new ranges
for Light Gauge Steel and CLT
construction, as well as our
significantly expanded nails and
screws ranges. We’ve really pushed
the boat out to increase our core
range though, which, coupled with
our rapid made-to-order service,
we really can say that if we don’t
have it – you don’t need it.”

MEDITE SMARTPLY LAUNCHES NEW
AUGMENTED REALITY APP
MEDITE SMARTPLY, producers of innovative timber panel products, has
launched a interesting new app for its SMARTPLY product range.
The ‘SMARTPLY AR’ app, which is live on iOS and Android, features a ‘Product
Data Tool’ providing a comprehensive breakdown of the entire SMARTPLY
product range. The tool includes detailed information that is broken down
into easy to digest sections, making it ideal for reading on the go and a
useful companion when selling, specifying or using SMARTPLY products.
In addition to the Product Data Tool, the app also includes a ‘Forest to
Factory’ feature, a 3D augmented reality, step by step walk through the
company’s manufacturing process. The visualisation takes you all the way
through the supply chain, from the sourcing of raw material from the
company owned forests, right through to the products being loaded onto a
lorry and being delivered to the customer.
“Our new SMARTPLY manufacturing facility and our sustainable supply
chain are things we are extremely proud of”, says Stuart Devoil, Head of
Marketing and Brand at MEDITE SMARTPLY, “It’s great for our audience to
now be able to see exactly how much goes into producing our products
to such a high standard. Seeing the procedure so clearly documented
provides the chance to see exactly how we operate and really brings the
process to life.
“The app also doubles as a handy SMARTPLY pocket product library on
your phone that shows users the benefits, features and proper handling
instructions for the entire SMARTPLY product range.”
The app is available to download from the Apple App Store and Google
Play now. Simply search for ‘SMARTPLY AR’, then use the infographic
