LIVE DEMONSTRATIONS
OF ‘LEADING MACHINERY’
» LEADING MACHINERY
experts, Haffner Murat now offer
live demonstrations of a range
of their machinery to potential
customers from the company’s
state-of-the-art showroom in
Staffordshire.
Dave Thomas, Managing
Director of Haffner Murat,
explains: “We promote our
machines through various digital,
video and offline platforms,
but there is no substitute for
seeing the machines in action.
To be able to work in the new
normal, businesses need to think
and do things differently. Due
to our expansion, it was always
our intention to be able to offer
various live demonstrations and,
in our current climate, this has
never been more appropriate.”
A range of aluminium and
PVC-u machinery from Haffner,
Italmac and FOM are on display
at any one time. Currently on
show is their popular TT405
PVC-u and Aluminium profile
cutting centre. The impressive
machine has been proving a
popular choice with fabricators
due to its point to point cutting
accuracy and automatic transom
and short cut facility, delivering
superb automation. The doublecut
saw is suitable for both
aluminium and PVC-u profiles
up to 70mm and has the choice
of USB data control or a secure
network connection with touch
screen technology.
Dave said: “Previously,
potential customers would see
our machines in action at either
an existing customer’s premises
or at exhibitions such as the
FIT Show and Fensterbau. But
with exhibitions postponed
and existing customers quite
rightly limiting the number of
non-essential visitors to their
premises, it made perfect sense
to demonstrate our machines on
our premises as we had always
planned. We now have the
space to do this effectively while
meeting all social distancing and
health and safety protocols.”
In 2019, the Staffordshirebased
business undertook a
significant expansion programme
which saw their headquarters
double in size and provides
additional space to accommodate
such live demonstrations. The
impressive headquarters also
houses superb meeting facilities
with digital conference facilities
to ensure customers have a
comprehensive understanding of
the various machine options and
what they will deliver.

» DOOR SEAL SPECIALIST
Norseal has become the first
company in Europe to develop a
custom-made drop seal cutting
machine. The machine will cut
any drop seal to the exact size
required, ready for next day
delivery, without damaging it,
and so keeping the fire, smoke
and acoustic integrity of the
door intact. Every door seal cut
to size by Norseal with its new
equipment comes with a one
million cycle guarantee.
Norseal has developed the
new cutting machine as part
of its ongoing commitment to
offer the best customer service
proposition in the business. It
will accurately cut its Norsound
range of acoustic, smoke,
and weather drop seals to the
exact size required ready for
immediate fitting on site or in
the factory. It will put an end to
the incorrect size being cut on
site and eliminate the damage
that can be caused to drop seals
by cutting by hand which can
deform or bend, rendering the
seal useless.
“We believe that this new
machine will revolutionise the
fitting of drop seals for door
manufacturers and contractors,”
says Norseal MD Michael
Spoors. “It not only eliminates
an entire manufacturing
process for them to save time
in production or on site, it will
also massively reduce wastage
with its accurate and damagefree
cutting. All of the seals we
cut on the machine will still be
available for next day delivery
and, best of all, the service is
completely free of charge for
customers.”
Part of the European Athmer
Group, Norseal has a long
track record of innovation,
developing products which meet
and exceed the latest industry
standards for fire and smoke
protection, acoustic properties,
accessibility and thermal
insulation. Products are backed
by a qualified and experienced
technical team offering advice
and guidance on all aspects
of intumescent and acoustic
seals. As well as its core range
of seals, Norseal supply a wide
range of supplementary door
products including fire-rated
glazing, electrical and plumbing
solutions, fire rated ventilation,
letter plates, door viewers,
threshold plates, weather
seals, and finger protection
products.
