Twice in one year …
» ROSEVIEW WINDOWS , THE UK ’ S leading vertical slider manufacturer , has just taken delivery of a second SBA-4 VS PVC-U Profile Machining Centre from Haffner , just 12 months after the business took receipt of their first .
Mike Bygrave , Sales & Marketing Director at Roseview Windows , commented : “ Roseview has witnessed a sharp upturn in demand in the past 18 months as a result of the continued popularity of feature-rich sash windows . Our investment in this new machine will give us a big increase in capacity and further support our continued strategy for growth .
“ We invested in our first SBA-4 VS machining centre to replace an ageing machine and upgrade efficiencies across the shop floor . It made such a huge difference to our fabrication capabilities we had no hesitation in ordering a second machine to support our business growth trajectory and maintain our quality sash window output .”
The SBA-4 VS PVC-U Profile Machining Centre is driven by technical innovation and high-performance accuracy , which makes it ideal for manufacturing both standard and mechanically jointed vertical sliders . For a company such as Roseview , which is renowned for the quality of its product and the efficiency of its operations , it is the perfect choice .
Like all Roseview ’ s fabrication machines , the new SBA-4 VS PVC-U Profile Machining Centre has been given a name to make it easy to identify in production meetings . Mike commented : “ We name all our machines after Nintendo characters . The first machine we purchased from Haffner is called Bowser . This new one is Yoshi . We also have a Mario , Luigi and Super Mario .”
Serving the trade market , Roseview Windows was established in 1977 and has grown year-on-year . In 1985 it was the first company in the UK to specialise in manufacturing PVC-U vertical sliders . Based in
Buckinghamshire , the company currently manufactures around 700 windows a week , with plans in place to increase output to 1,000 windows per week . With the arrival of Yoshi , or its second SBA-4 VS PVC-U Profile Machining Centre , it is well equipped to achieve this .
