building regulations for replacement and new build projects as standard .
Andrew Charlesworth , technical director of profine UK and KÖMMERLING explains : “ Given the considerable resources here in the UK and in Germany we ’ ve been able to further develop our 70mm platform to improve energy efficiency credentials .
“ Building regulations will again change in the years to come and sooner than we think . So now is the time to partner wisely with a company that ’ s committed to product innovation and sustainability ,
thanks also to our recycling initiatives in the UK and across Europe .”

Relocation sets bending specialists on path to success
» SOON-AFTER MORE THAN DOUbling in size and moving from a 4,700 square foot manufacturing facility in Bolton to a 10,000 square foot premises in St Helens , Premier Arches was forced to shut its doors thanks to the national Covid-19 lockdown , and it was very difficult to predict what the market was going to do .
Since then , however , the decision to upscale has proved a huge success .
Premier Arches Managing Director Sean Greenall comments : “ Thanks to this increased capacity , we were able to successfully deal with the buoyant market conditions , supply chain woes , price increases and extended lead times , and as a result , we ’ ve seen year on year growth , including a 94 % sales uplift from 2020 to 2021 . This year , we plan on expanding production and capacity even further by installing a new mezzanine floor and investing in new machinery .”
Serving over 600 customers across the UK , the St Helens-based company transforms the often daunting process of profile bending into a simple and pain-free process , saving fabricators time and money , and helping them win more lucrative projects which would otherwise be turned down .
