» BESPOKE SECONDARY GLAZING experts Selectaglaze has invested in an FMC 340 CNC Machining Centre from Fom Industrie which is already adding value to the company ’ s operations .

Duncan Saunders , Head of Production at Selectaglaze , said : “ Selectaglaze aims to have the best quality machinery that makes manufacturing efficient and ensures consistent quality throughout the whole fabrication process . The new FMC 340 CNC Machining Centre with fume extraction hood is an impressive machine that exceeds our expectations .”

When it became clear that Selectaglaze ’ s existing CNC machine needed upgrading to the latest fabrication and software technology , Duncan was tasked with finding the replacement . The team needed a machine that could fabricate all Selectaglaze profiles and bring the latest technological developments to the company .

Selectaglaze initially considered five different machine manufacturers , then

narrowed these down to two . Haffner was selected as the machinery supplier of choice because of the support the company received during the research phase .

Duncan commented : “ We were impressed with the way the Bryan Dando and the wider Haffner team handled the initial enquiry and the overall support on offer . Haffner gave us the best service and technical advice , helping the team to decide which machine best suited our needs .”

Haffner worked closely with the team at Selectaglaze throughout the project , liaising extensively with Duncan and Selectaglaze ’ s Managing Director Keith Mercer . The close communication gave the Selectaglaze team confidence in the choice of machine and how it would benefit the business . This included live Teams meetings with Fom Industrie ’ s software specialists who could answer all the team ’ s questions for peace of mind .

Thanks to meticulous planning , the FMC 340 CNC Machining Centre was

in production and operational within three days . The machine can handle all Selectaglaze profiles , and the team are in the process of transitioning all programmes to it . Duncan commented : “ It is already delivering a better quality of cut and , once the transition process is complete , will also help efficiency .”
