event zone PiGs Bring the Party » » TUESDAY NIGHT’S LATE-NIGHT opening at FIT Show gave both visitors and exhibitors the perfect excuse to let their hair down and the PiGs event on the Balls2 Marketing, Certass & BNP Paribas stand really showed how the glazing industry could party. PiGs Organiser Sarah Ball says: “It was the busiest stand in the halls and was made extra-special by Avantis bringing ‘The Jetters’ to provide some great tunes and singalongs. We borrowed sponsor QANW’s stand for the band so there was more room on ours for our guests. PiGs saw another great night of networking and catching up with industry friends, old and new, over a few drinks. As usual, a special thanks goes out to our sponsors, who bought beer, wine, cider and spirits packages to keep the party going.” There are thwo more PiGs events happening this year. PiGs goes to St Judes in Glasgow on 5 September and the year finishes off at The Pitcher & Piano in Birmingham on Thursday 7 November.

Dave Thomas, Managing Director of Haffner Murat, says: “It was our best show ever in terms of interest and orders taken.” There was plenty to attract fabricators to the stand but the star of the show was the OPTI-Weld quad welding machine, which can be used for PVC-U, aluminium and wooden profiles. Dave says: “Fabricators could instantly see the benefits it brings. Not only can it be used as a conventional welder, it can also weld a square without the need for pre or post C cleaning of the profile.” M The increasing trend for fabricators to turn to aluminium Y CM as an alternative to PVC-U was reflected in interest on MY the stand. Dave says: “We CY have the machines fabricators need to cater for this market. CMY Machines attracting the most K attention were the Spring CNC Machining Centre and the TT405 Automatic Double Mitre Saw. They are perfect examples of how automation delivers increased quality, increased efficiency and reduced fabrication costs.” www.haffnermurat.com THANKS STAND FOR I66 VISITING OUR STAND OFFER CUSTOMERS MORE WAYS TO PAY IN 2019 0800 024 8505 [email protected] J UL 2 019 25
