Edgetech (UK) Ltd: "We opted to embrace automation because we'd realised we were reaching the limits of what we could achieve doing things the traditional way, we'd always prided ourselves on quality, but maintaining those high standards while keeping up with demand was proving increasingly difficult."comments Managing Director Stefan O'Meara of Sapphire Glass Merchants
Total Hardware: "Hardware is an integral part of the aesthetic of an installation. When it comes to contemporary composite door designs, our Stainless Steel Pull Bars are the perfect finishing touch."said, Chris Pell, general manager
Haffner Ltd: "Roseview has witnessed a sharp upturn in demand in the past 18 months as a result of the continued popularity of feature-rich sash windows. Our investment in this new machine will give us a big increase in capacity and further support our continued strategy for growth." commented, Mike Bygrave, Sales & Marketing Director at Roseview Windows
NSG Group : "Like any energy-intensive manufacturing business, decarbonisation represents a huge challenge for us to overcome. But our teams across the North West, in partnership with academics and industry groups, have made significant strides towards this goal." said:Neil Syder, managing director Pilkington UK
Morley Glass: "You asked, we delivered! We've listened to feedback from Uni-Blinds installers and responded to a growing desire from homeowners for black Venetian blinds - we took up the mantle and, working closely with Pellini, made a black integral blind a reality" . said Managing Director Ian Short.
Door Superstore: A truly flexible solution, divider doors can be fitted with obscure glass to give an extra level of privacy without blocking out any daylight and choosing solid core doors can also bring some sound-proofing benefits - perfect for home office schemes.
Aluprof UK: Whilst 'Passivhaus' is commonly considered as a German innovation, in fact, it was an American physicist, William Shurcliff who in 1982 published a book "The Saunders-Shrewsbury House," in which he describes the concepts of "super-insulation" and passive solar as "passive house."

Letter to the editor: How do we measure the ‘best’ in the glazing industry?
Dear Ian,
With the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, I have seen ‘Be the Best’ slogans around the city during the successful event and it made me think – what does the best look like in our industry, and how do we measure that?
They say that turnover is vanity while net margin is sanity, but is that any more important than customer service and customer satisfaction? Is it all about reviews, or accreditations for meeting standards? What about fully automated factories?
Yours sincerely,
Howard Trotter
Business Manager, Shelforce.
