FLYING THE FLAG FOR
UK FENESTRATION
DISTRIBUTORS AT
FENSTERBAU
» » NOT ONLY WAS WINDOW
Ware a first-time exhibitor
at Fensterbau, it was also the
only UK fenestration hardware
distributor with a presence at
this year’s event. That made it
even more imperative to put on
a good show and demonstrate
the strength, professionalism and
huge potential that the British
fenestration industry has to offer
overseas firms.
MAXIMUM NETWORKING
POTENTIAL
“We went to Fensterbau with
high hopes for raising Window
Ware’s profile in the market
and finding new opportunities
to grow the business in all
directions” explained Window
Ware’s MD, Sam Nuckey.
“We’re pleased to report that we
achieved our goals with great
success! We met with several
potential new customers keen
to support their businesses with
a flexible, one-stop, optimised
supply of hardware, tools and
consumables, plus prospective
brand partners looking to work
more collaboratively with us to
help distribute and add value to
their products. Fensterbau might
be finished for another year, but
we’re still hard at work carefully
nurturing these new leads and
building budding partnerships.”
THE RIGHT STUFF
There’s no doubt that Window
Ware has what it takes to impress
fabricators and trade counters
alike. Armed with an unrivalled
6,500-strong product range, an
ever-ready stockholding worth
£2.5 million, a highly-experienced
sales team and a first-class service
record, Window Ware is fully
primed to deliver virtually every
fenestration essential on time, every
time. What’s more, the flexible
team at Window Ware isn’t fazed
by tight turnarounds or exacting
requirements - over the last 30 years,
they’ve become experts at working
closely with customers to help them
manage their hardware supply
chain. Having achieved a 97%
OTIF every month since the start
of 2018 and a TrustScore that hasn’t
dropped below 9 out of 10 for over
a year, it’s clear Window Ware has
got hardware provision down to fine
art. That’s just what today’s time-
sensitive, savvy trade professionals
and fabricators want to hear!

SIEGENIA SHOWCASES ITS VAST
PRODUCT RANGE AT FENSTERBAU
» » SIEGENIA, ONE OF THE UK’S AND
Europe’s leading hardware suppliers
committed fully to the recent Fensterbau
exhibition with over 1,000 square feet of
floorspace to showcase their vast range.
UK General Manager Adrian Vicker
and his team were on hand to meet UK
visitors and show them around the stand to
demonstrate the product range. Of particular
interest was the opportunity to see the new
Titan AF Tilt and Turn range. Speaking
about the product Adrian was delighted share
his enthusiasm for the recently acquired
independent testing through the BBA – the
first in the UK to achieve this standard on the
latest design of the hardware.
“Having supplied Tilt and Turn gearing
into the UK for over three decades now,
everybody knows that Siegenia has an
undoubted pedigree when it comes to
developing and supplying quality hardware
in the fenestration industry. We have been
here since the start, and our commitment

to developing new products
and most importantly
to independently test
those products is
unwavering.
“It is why, even
after all this time,
achieving BBA
accreditation on our
range is a really exciting
development for us.
“There is no better stamp
of approval than to have independent and
widely recognised test programmes associated
with your products, and BBA certainly fits
that bill. To be the only system in the UK
which carries this mark is just an added tick
in the box given the rigorous nature of the
testing that the product undergoes to achieve
it.
“To be able to talk to UK visitors at
Fensterbau about this was great, and their
feedback was extremely positive.
“We also had the opportunity to
show them some of the products in our
extensive range which they may not have
been so familiar with including the HS Portal
system for lift and slide doors with its barrier
free threshold and soft close features to name
just two of its amazing selling points, and our
Aero ventilation range which is really catching
the attention of the market.
“It was a great few days and we were
delighted to be able to see so many of the
customers who buy our products in person
to show them just what an extensive range
Siegenia has.”
