Editorial
“Having worked within the previous Sapa Building System
organisation for some years it was towards the end of 2013
that I was introduced in detail to the WICONA brand when I
spent 2 interesting days in Ulm in October 2013.
The strength and breadth of the product range, together with
the impressive facilities at Ulm and Bellenberg reinforced my
opinion that a real development opportunity exists in the UK
market for the WICONA brand. To achieve this growth we are
working closely with the WICONA team on a number of important
initiatives to put in place the building blocks to support strong
UK development over the coming years.
