INCREASE IN CAPACITY FOR
COLOURFUL FUTURE
IT’S ALL THERE
» » FAST-GROWING PANORAMIC
Group has launched its biggest and most
product-packed showroom with the
opening of the extended and fully refitted
unit in Kettering, Northants.
The new facility not only showcases
the most comprehensive collection of the
ever-expanding Panoramic range but also
many variants and style options to give
both trade customers and homeowners
the best experience of what the Group has
to offer.
The new showroom is now one of nine
run by Panoramic and its trading partners
covering the whole of the UK but, as
Group Managing Director Michael Connor
explained, such a fast-growing product
range needs ever more space to show
them all fully at their best.
“With recent acquisitions such as
Welglaze PVC-U and the former Alumen, as
well as our new IGU manufacturing division,
we really have one of the widest ranges
available,” he said, “ and, whether trade
partners have their own showroom or not,
this is already helping them to drive sales as
well as gain their own hands-on experience
of the ranges.”
» » EPWIN WINDOW SYSTEMS, THE
UK’s most successful systems supplier, has
just announced that extrusion capacity at
its Telford headquarters is about to increase
by over 40%; also increasing its foiling
capacity by 30% with the installation of new
lamination lines.
Clare O’Hara, Divisional Managing
Director at Epwin Window Systems, said:
“Work to install an additional 24 extrusion
lines is nearing completion. The investment
more than doubles our number of extrusion
lines and takes the total number to 41.
Coloured profiles are a key part of the future
direction of the industry and this investment
allows us to lead the way. As demand for
our growing product range increases, this
investment will enable us to continue to offer
outstanding quality with impressive lead times
into the future.”
The manufacturing investment is just one
part of what looks like being an exceptional
year for Epwin Window Systems. It will
be launching a new star performer at this
year’s FIT show and will open a brand new,
300,000 sq ft state-of-the-art warehouse and
distribution centre in Telford by the end of
the year.

Isle have what they’re having
» » THERE CAN’T BE MANY MORE
challenging climates in the UK for windows
and doors than the Orkney Isles, off the North
East tip of Scotland. So, when Apeer chose to
Open Monday–Friday, 8am to 4pm,
Saturdays by appointment. support its Double Diamond double-rebated
door range with the islands’ installers, the
company and its local distributor flew out to
meet them, and see for themselves how the
doors stand up to the challenge.
“You don’t need to sample the weather up
there for long to realise why more residents
are choosing double rebated doors nowadays,”
said Scott Dowling, Director of mainland
fabricator Inverness Glass.
Apeer sales manager, Alex Moore had spent
a few days visiting long-standing customer,
The Glass Shop in Kirkwall, the islands’
capital, and said: “The Single Diamond has
been very popular but the Double Diamond is
really catching up. It was great to get together
with our customers in this way but Apeer got
a lot out of it as well, getting to see first-
hand what the Double Diamond can do for
customers and installers. We were also able to
install Apeer’s Door Builder software at The
Glass Shop so they can design their door in
every detail before ordering.”
