» » SENIOR ARCHITECTURAL
Systems is giving its trade
customers another big reason to
‘Ask for Ali’ with the launch of
a new heavy-duty version of its
popular Ali FOLD aluminium
door system.
Designed to accommodate
door leaf widths of up to 1300m
x 2400mm and 125Kg, the new
Ali FOLD HD offers fewer
sightlines and wider views by
maximising daylight and reducing
the number of door panels
required.
With the same attractive
slimline aluminium frame as
the original Ali FOLD folding
sliding, single and double door
styles, the new Ali FOLD HD
door system benefits from extra
strong gearing and hardware
to safely support the larger leaf
sizes. Combining aesthetic
appeal with high performance,
the new door has been designed
to withstand the demands of
both high-traffic residential
settings and commercial
contracts and has been security
tested to meet the requirements
of PAS 24 and Part Q of the
Building Regulations. Senior’s Ali FOLD
aluminium doors are also the
perfect partner to Ali VU, the
company’s slimline aluminium
window system that has been
specifically developed for the
domestic residential market.
and the impressive new business
success this year.”
Dr Mrosik’s comments were
also echoed by Gareth Jones
who concluded: “With the
resources of a €700million
group behind us we’re well set
for the future and that includes
our plans to extrude here. We’ve
ignited the KÖMMERLING
brand in the eyes of the industry
and the staff and existing customers are genuinely excited
about our prospects. We’re now
into double digits with the
number of new fabricators that
have decided to come along and
join us this year alone, which
is pleasing for us as we look to
build considerable momentum
with the KÖMMERLING
brand.”

Flying in for FIT
» » DR PETER MROSIK, CEO
and owner of profine
Group, which includes the
KÖMMERLING brand, flew
into the FIT Show to visit the
staff, key customers and to host
what was to be a very open and
informative industry media
question and answer session.
After an award-winning
marketing campaign at the
show and having also signed
up a number of new business
prospects before and during the
show, the arrival of the group
owner was particularly welcomed
and a positive experience for all.
It was also the second time that
Dr Mrosik had visited the FIT
Show after his arrival on the
KÖMMERLING stand back in
2017.
The Q&A was also an
opportunity for Dr Mrosik and
Gareth Jones, managing director
of profine UK, to address the
media over Brexit and their
long-term strategy for the UK.
From a Brexit perspective, the
group and the UK subsidiary
have run through multiple
scenarios with business analysts
from Hidden Peak Capital and
have put in place robust plans
and contingencies for all possible
outcomes. But much of the Q&A
centred around the group’s full
commitment to the UK as a
primary market and firm plans to
extrude in the near future.
Dr Mrosik commented: “The
UK is super important for us as
a group regardless of the political
and economic outcome of Brexit.
We’re also actively looking at
extruding in the UK as it makes
sense, particularly after such a
strong presence at the FIT Show
