door manufacturer, Hallmark Panels.

infill panels for the window industry

“During my time at Hallmark, I have seen
numerous innovative products developed
and delivered to market. By investing in 5
state-of-the-art CNC machines over the
last 10 years we have been able to reduce
internal manufacturing costs and time
to market, enabling Hallmark to become
more competitive without compromise on
quality or service.”
Hallmark uses both traditionally sculptured and contemporary-looking bevelled
profiles from the Halo portfolio.

“We’re proud that Halo profile plays such

an important part in the winning blend
of materials and techniques that Hallmark
Panels has developed over the years.
“The company demonstrates a truly
proactive approach to its work, constantly
looking for ways to improve and streamline its manufacturing processes, minimise
its environmental impact and pass the
savings onto clients.Values like these align
perfectly with what we do at The VEKA
UK Group and we look forward to continuing our work together with Hallmark.
Here’s to another 20 years’ success!”
Hallmark Group Products companies,
Hallmark Panels, Laminated Supplies and
Fortrace have now been joined by Toughened Glass Solutions Ltd., adding a fast
and efficient supply of shaped, toughened
glass services to the group and high quality
sealed units to the trade.

Door Designer
App For All
S
olidor has now launched
its Door Designer app for
all Android devices, through
Google Play.
Previously only available on
Apple devices, the new Door
Design App benefits from a
completely new environment
to provide a far better user
experience for consumers
and salesmen with mobile
devices and tablets, helping
to create the most individual
of door designs with the full
Solidor range available..
A new entrance can be
brought to life by designing
a door specifically to suit the
front of your home by taking
a photograph or choosing
one from a pre-determined
gallery of house facades.
Throughout the process of
designing a door, consumers
are able to choose door and
frame colours both inside
and out, thanks to the new
inside view feature, glass
options, hardware finish and

once they are happy with the
final design, that there’s the
facility to request a quote or
even share it with friends.
Joe Martoccia, managing
director of Solidor,
comments: “So far this year
it’s been all about investing
in our business operations
and we’re now seeing
some excellent service
performance indicators.
“We will be introducing a
superb range of powerful
sales and marketing tools
to support our network
partners and making our
Door Designer app available
across both mobile platforms
is another example of
delivering industry-leading
sales enablers to our
network.”

Solidor App at Apple’s App
