TARGETING PVC-U FABRICATORS WITH RANGE OF TROLLEYS AND TABLES
» THE EMMEGI NAME MIGHT BE synonymous with aluminium fabrication, but the UK based business is keen to remind PVC-U fabricators that they can also tap into the quality, and service that characterises Emmegi via its range of heavy duty trolleys, tables and handling equipment.
Managing Director Ian Latimer says:“ Aluminium fabricators love our ancillary range – especially the Acca XL assembly benches, which we normally have in stock to meet the continual demand.
“ PVC-U fabricators probably don’ t even know that we offer these, but most of our range is just as suitable for PVC-U as it is for aluminium. As well as the Acca XL tables, we also offer the Five CS vertical tilting assembly rig, and a wide range of trolleys including the Stack and Taglio models for transporting cut profiles and finished frames around the factory.
“ The Five CS glazing rig is suitable for both ali and PVC frames and has pneumatic tilt and clamping functions controlled with a footswitch so that fabricators can clamp the frame into position, fit the glass and then tilt into position single handedly if they need to.
“ The heavy duty Stack and Taglio trolleys are all about making the storage and flow of materials around the factory as efficient as possible and they come with swivelling castors which, we know from experience, will last for decades.
“ A stand out product for PVC-U is probably our Spin 4 gasket trolley, which includes 4 adjustable and extendable reel holders with locking clutch and a gasket-guide for trouble free unwinding. It even has a clever quick gasket roll change system.
“ We offer bulk buy discounts, and we can deliver across the whole of the UK and Ireland.”
Emmegi’ s popular handling products are fully supported by Emmegi( UK)’ s service and spare parts team. Replaceable items are held in stock at the company’ s Coventry HQ, and extension and repair kits are available for many of the products.

PARTNERSHIPS KEY TO FIVE-DECADES OF SUCCESS
» 2025 HAS MARKED A LANDMARK year for Twinseal Limited, as the leading IGU manufacturer celebrates a series of impressive milestones – including 50 years since it was founded by Allan Cowen and 20 years since it’ s game-changing partnership with Edgetech, a Quanex company.
Now a third-generation family business, Twinseal continues to be led by Allan’ s son Billy, and Billy’ s eldest son Lee, who joined the company exactly 20 years ago.
“ We have many anniversaries this year,” said Billy, Managing Director.“ As well as it being 50 years since the company was started by my father, it’ s 40 years since we began manufacturing sealed units and 25 years since we manufactured our own toughened glass.
“ But our most significant investment came exactly 20 years ago when, alongside Edgetech and Forel, we started automated
unit production using Edgetech’ s Super Spacer ®.
“ Our philosophy has always been simple; work with the best, invest in quality, and stay loyal to the people and products that help you succeed. That’ s why our relationship with Edgetech remains so strong – and why we see it continuing for many more years to come.”
Operations Director Lee agreed:“ The quality and reliability of Edgetech’ s products are impeccable, and we have been supported every step of the way. From setting up our original automated line to helping us scale our production, they’ ve been invaluable. We’ re now well positioned to continue growing with confidence.”
Tony Palmer, Head of Sales at Edgetech, said:“ It was great to support Twinseal’ s move to Super Spacer ® 20 years ago and it’ s been fantastic to watch them grow into
one of the most respected IGU manufacturers in the country thanks to long-term collaboration and forward-thinking investment in automation.”
Edgetech is just one example of the many strong partnerships Twinseal has built up with its suppliers over the years. Today, Twinseal is backed by a supplier network that includes Saint-Gobain, Unilam, and Bostik, relationships that Billy says are vital to the company’ s ongoing success.
