22 • INDUSTRYNEWS PROUD SPONSORS OF THIS PAGE A Complete Federal Offering » » NEARLY 12 MONTHS ON FROM becoming Federal Lock stockist for the UK, Brisant Secure has seen strong sales growth, thanks to over 1,000 stock lines, online ordering and a next day delivery promise, as Steve Stewart CEO explains… While our business has primarily been built on the overriding success of Ultion, our 3 Star Sold Secure Diamond cylinder and more recently the Lock Lock security handle, our sales of Federal branded products have increased substantially since we started in January this year. Based in Taiwan, Federal Lock Company is a world-class manufacturer of quality security products that was established over 50 years ago. The company also remains a family business boasting over 30 worldwide patents and registered trademarks in 36 countries. The Federal brand includes a wide range of padlocks and cylinders as well as door, window and furniture locks, all carefully engineered to meet the highest industry standards. Its ultra-high security padlocks and lock cylinders have attained ASTM 883 grade 6 in the USA, Sold Secure Diamond grade and BS EN1303 in the UK and CEN 5 rating across Europe. But the previous long-term supplier of Federal Products ceased trading, so we took the opportunity to stock over 1,000 product lines satisfying the requirements from locksmiths across the UK. By utilising our already established infrastructure we have introduced a service to Federal product not seen before, including next-day delivery, on-line ordering and text notification of delivery times. Our online ordering system means that locksmiths can order 24/7 and there’s even real time tracking of stock, so locksmiths can see how many items are available for them to buy. Deliveries can be made to locksmiths or to any other address directly. Steve Stewart Our personal relationships with Federal Lock go back over 10 years so there’s a mutual level of trust that brings with it a dependable, consistent supply service. There’s also the reassurance that we have the infrastructure and resources to offer such a broad product range from stock, acting as a single source. We’ve added a dedicated ‘Federal Product’ section on our website at www. brisant-secure.com, which includes many of the popular padlocks and also the Federal UCF Sold Secure Diamond grade cylinder, which offers much greater key control thanks to its magnetic pin. Other popular products include hasp and staple, garage door locks and patio locks, standard cylinders and there’s an express Master Key service across the range. The feedback has been very strong from customers who previously suffered with supply issues for Federal Products and now have the re-assurance that they are dealing with a strong business.
