ALUPROF UK IN IRELAND
BY WOJCIECH BROŻYNA - MD OF ALUPROF UK
Since Aluprof ’ s emergence onto the UK & Ireland market fifteen years ago offering a well established European portfolio of architectural aluminium systems , meeting and often exceeding the needs of specifiers , Ireland has welcomed Aluprof as a major systems supplier . But it ’ s not just about well designed fenestration systems , the complete supply chain needs to backup specifiers ’ expectations .
Aluprof ’ s logistics provides weekly deliveries to Ireland from an extensive stock of aluminium systems and hardware located at their head office in Poland . Powder coating and thermal break facilities are all housed under the same roof allowing products to be finished to meet any specification . Aluprof also offers a fabrication service to support its network of fabricator installers across the region when required to meet programme expectations . Coupled with a physical ‘ on the ground ’ presence from Aluprof UK & Ireland ’ s team of support technicians , this has quickly placed the company in the region as a major systems supplier . Glazing fabricators and installers nationwide quickly appreciated the benefits of well designed , robust Aluprof systems and dedicated technical and customer backup . This cooperation grew into many strong , long-term relationships , carried out through difficult times during the 2008 economical downturn .
Over the following years , Aluprof has been and continues to be present on sites of national schemes like government decentralisation schemes or Department of Education school programmes , where a number of market or project based bespoke solutions are developed , for example , as used in the New headquarters for the Office of Public Works ’ in Trim , or the ongoing specification of Aluprof ’ s thermally efficient window in new schools .
These well established and respected working relationships lead back to challenging specifications for UK projects such as developments within the London 2012 Olympic Village , where there was a need to develop some game-changing bespoke designs .
