Stainless Steel sales continues to rise!
Leading hardware supplier the Trojan Group are once again witnessing a steady rise in sales for their Stainless Steel hardware range as winter approaches. This comes as no surprise to the company who has lead the market for some years with their impressive Stainless-Steel door furniture range all backed with a 25-year anti corrosion guarantee.
Increasing numbers of call outs affect not only your bottom line but also your reputation. Call-outs, replacement costs and
reputational damage will all have an impact on your business especially in an economic climate where everyone is still choosing their suppliers carefully.
As a result of this industry problem more fabricators and installers are turning to high grades of stainless steel as the answer. Stainless steel products are extremely durable and more than capable of withstanding the most ferocious of winters without losing their good looks or functionality.

ATLAS CELEBRATES BEST MONTH
Atlas Glazed Roof Solutions is celebrating its best month ever for sales of its industry-leading lantern roofs, rooflights and Skyroom mock orangery system. Still the fastest growing glazed roof manufacturer in the industry, Atlas has just announced that its greatest month on record pulled in 40 % more sales compared to the same period last year.

It includes brochures, which can be personalised with the installer’ s logo and company details, digital marketing support, direct mail and advertising templates, retail leaflets and showroom display graphics.

SECOND FACTORY HELPS BOOST PRODUCTION
Polyframe has launched into its second major investment programme since becoming part of the Customade Group- this time to expand its 50,000-square foot site in Livingston and boost production of PVCu frames by more than 30 per cent.
Polyframe Livingston has made a £ 750,000 investment into plant and new machinery to help it satisfy growing market demand and increase production on the site from 1,500 to 2,000 frames a week on a single shift basis. Polyframe Livingston is Scotland’ s largest trade fabricator and the biggest fabricator of Veka PVCu frames north of the border.
The move at Livingston swiftly follows the announcement by Polyframe that it had embarked on an ambitious investment into additional production space and new machinery at its Norwich site. Output at Norwich will increase substantially from 4,500 frames a week to 7,000 frames a week.
115 people are currently employed on the Livingston site, with 75 staff working in the factory. The enhanced Livingston site will manufacture the complete range of VEKA PVCu windows and doors.
