BI-FOLDS SAFELY

Made for Trade complete investment in enhanced safety delivery fleet

Made for Trade have announced a significant long-term investment in the expansion of their fleet of delivery vehicles . Each of the 10 new vehicles also comes equipped with another MFT design innovation , changing the way their products are handled both at the factory and also at delivery sites , the new design significantly decreases risk and puts safety of their employees first .
MFT ’ s announcement , along with other news of their product expansion is a strong indication of their industry position and growth plans throughout 2020-2021 and beyond .
“ For some time , we have been looking at the handling challenges presented by the loading and unloading of large heavy products from our wagons and we had some good design ideas of what we wanted to achieve . With sales dictating a need
for more wagons to satisfy increasing delivery requirements we took the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone and had a custom fleet developed with local vehicle suppliers . We think this
is a first in fenestration and is a significant step forward in transport safety .” Chris Wann , Business Manager .
2020 has been a tough year for many businesses within the fenestration
industry and some of the industry heavy hitters are either gone or have been significantly reshaped .
