Modplan: "We've partnered with VEKA for 25 years because they are consistently at the forefront of window and door system design and allow us to manufacture the value-added products our customers need to grow their businesses. The patio door system is the perfect example." commented, Managing Director, Heidi Sachs,
Howells: "Working with Howells was a very positive experience. They did exactly what they said they would. And given the complexity of the structure and its location, health and safety was good. Overall, we’re very impressed especially as JBA Bentley and Howells had not worked together previously." comments, Richard Timson, site manager JBA Bentley
Edgetech: "We were delighted that Building Product Solutions chose Edgetech, and that they’ve benefitted from our e-commerce platform. We implemented e-commerce to make customers' lives easier. Our library feature allows users to save their previous orders, so they can quickly and simply re-order each time." comments, Head of Sales, Tony Palmer
Total Hardware: "There are huge opportunities in the market at the moment. There are also huge challenges. To succeed, you need to partner with suppliers who can mitigate the challenges so you can rise to the opportunities. That’s exactly what we’re doing for our customers at Total Hardware." concludes, Chris Pell, general manager
Kommerling: Thanks to an innovative manufacturing process, the high-tech material Ultradur from BASF is firmly integrated into the profile structure using a tri-extrusion process, making it possible to completely do without steel even with coloured and foiled profiles. Historically System 88 has only been able to achieve the Dr. Feist Standard in white until now, which opens up endless possibilities for building specifiers with a certified Uf = 0.79 W/(m2K).
