[email protected] Sealing Success at FIT » » HODGSON SEALANTS HAD a hugely successful debut at the FIT Show, launching the next generation HY-SPEC 25 hybrid sealant for installers to great acclaim, along with presenting its proven heritage glazing systems. HY-SPEC 25 is superior to typical silicone sealants in that it is paintable, UV stable, suitable for interior or exterior use, can be applied in damp conditions and is permanently elastic. Available in white, black, grey, anthracite grey and brown, it’s been designed for the glazing installer looking for a better next generation product and it also boasts a sector leading 18-month shelf life. With a super-size HY-SPEC 25 cartridge as the focal point on the stand, Hodgson Sealants was making a clear statement about the product launch, with the formulation developed and manufactured in the UK from their Hull facility. There were physical application samples thanks to a Dulux taster pot, showing the true paintable nature of the new development. In addition to the launch of HY-SPEC 25 and working with long-term customer Slenderline Glass, Hodgson Sealants also showed off their heritage glazing systems and heritage putty, while the stand also promoted a number of memberships of key trade bodies. www.hodgsonsealants.com ‘WELL DESIGNED FOR A DIVERSE AUDIENCE’ » » FOLLOWING MONTHS OF preparation and planning, the GGF reflected on an enjoyable event as thousands of visitors attended the three- day show. The GGF stand was a mixture of topical presentations and hospitality. In other parts of the exhibition, the GGF presence was evident with eight presentations in the FIT Show Seminar programme, plus over 30 GGF Members exhibiting at the show. James Lee, GGF Director of External Affairs, added, “We did a huge amount to increase our profile at this year’s show and I was pleased with our build up, the 32 J UL 2019 preparation and the PR for the event. Our stand was well designed for a diverse audience who I feel enjoyed visiting whether it was for information on joining, technical support, training advice or just a social visit. The videos we displayed on the screens seemed to be well received and visitors enjoyed our golf hole in one competition. One outstanding feature of this year’s show was the build and design of the stands. It’s clear our industry put a lot of thought, time and investment into making FIT Show visually stunning.” www.ggf.org.uk
