Mike Rushen Winkhaus UK Sales Director – “ We introduced AV4 at the FIT Show in May to significant interest from across the industry . AV4 ’ s wider installation tolerances and lower operating forces are going to provide immediate and long term benefits for fabricators , reducing the need to revisit sites due to warping doors . The introduction of Smart control and notifications via the Winkhaus doorControl application and blueMatic EAV4 + motor are further enhancements to look forward to later this year .”
