Fabricator hits the fast track
»»
ISLE OF WIGHT FABRICATOR GTI Glazing Systems has become the latest fabricator to switch to profiles and products from Eurocell – the UK ’ s leading manufacturer , distributor and recycler of window , door , conservatory and roofline products .
Director Neil Johnson cites quality of service , competitive pricing and innovation as the three main reasons for changing suppliers . “ Service is important , and we felt we weren ’ t receiving the support and attention that we should have , and Eurocell delivers that as well as providing well-designed , well-engineered products at a good price ”, he says . “ We ’ re always keen to grow and we need a pipeline of new and exciting products to do that , so Eurocell fits the bill ”.
Founded by Neil and his two partners , Michael Roberts and Patrick Brady , in 1992 , GTI Glazing Systems has grown to become the Isle of Wight ’ s largest window and conservatory fabricator and installer . GTI has more than 50 employees and numerous installation teams specialising in all aspects of the glazing and building industry .
Switching to Eurocell profiles is streamlined and simple because each new fabricator has its own technical support engineer who handles everything from initial set-up and advice on production efficiency through to troubleshooting . www . eurocell . co . uk
