Bohle: "Like all great ideas, the simplest ones are quite often the most effective! The VetroLevel is based on one of Bohle's most popular and trusted products, the Veribor manual suction lifter - a tool that many of our customers will already be very familiar with." commented Dave Broxton, managing director,
Clear Thinking Software: "Right now, everyone needs to be maximising their outputs against each and every sheet of glass. Software tools like GlasSave maximise output against each product, saving offcuts and even coming back to them later down the line when they can be re-used -things that you can't possibly hope to stay on top of through manual scheduling." said Malcolm Searle, managing director,
Fentrade: "We're a young business but we're built on tried and tested foundations - offering the highest standards in every area of our business.

Bohle: "With the demand that we’re seeing from our customers, including a record month in March, a robust supply chain is a major benefit to our customers, while increased stock-holding is also evidence of Bohle's commitment to the UK glass processing, IGU and home improvement sectors." continued Dave Broxton, managing director,
