ENCOURAGING RESPONSE
TO ALPRO’S OPTIMA 7
Among the exhibitors at this year’s
MLA Expo 2013 at Telford, was Alpro
Architectural Hardware (a division of
IEC Ltd) the independent supplier of
both mechanical and electro-mechanical
products in the UK commercial
aluminium OEM marketplace and access
control environment.
The Alpro product range comprises
a variety of contemporary handle
styles, which are both hard wearing
and aesthetically pleasing, with
bespoke designs available to your own
specifications. The Alpro range also
includes deadlocks, deadlatches, lock
accessories, cylinders, transom door
closers, flushbolts, armoured strikes,
digital locks, lever and paddle handles.
All of which have been designed for the
commercial aluminium door industry.
A variety of electro-mechanical
products complement this impressive
product portfolio, designed to meet the
needs of the demanding access control
market segment. Alpro has supported
the MLA event for several years - it is part
of a long-ranging strategy to promote the
company to MLA members through every
available means.
Alpro Divisional Manager, Keith
Parry said: “The MLA and its members
represent a very important market
sector for us and throughout this year
we have elected to work as closely with
the Association as possible through a
variety of channels, such as their regional
meetings, for example. Coupled with the
new European standards and the recently
introduced CE marking requirements,
Alpro want to ensure the message gets
across as to what is actually required
rather than what people think is
required”.
Prototypes of their new “Optima”
deadlock range were on display in
advance of production models to
illustrate the new product development
taking place to comply with the new
European standards and included the
security escutcheon and cylinder guard.
Keith added: “Footfall this year was
very good, and the interest shown in
our new ‘Optima 7’ deadlock was very
encouraging indeed. The show is an
excellent way to see lots of potential
customers face to face in a very short
space of t ime. We will certainly be
exhibiting at this the next one”.
