Double G Award finalist
Edgetech UK, a Quanex company, has been named as
a double G Award finalist for both the Customer Care
Initiative of the Year and Component Supplier of the Year.
»»It has been an exciting year
for Edgetech. Five new products were added
to the range, its first IGU components centre
opened in Burnley and Dealership Plus,
the most comprehensive customer support
package that covers IGU manufacturers,
window and door fabricators and installers was
introduced.
“To be finalists in two categories is
brilliant,” says Andy Jones, Managing
Director. “We are especially pleased to be
nominated for Customer Care Initiative for
Dealership Plus.”
The nomination for Component Supplier
of the Year recognises Edgetech’s growth from

supplier of a single product to a major supplier
of all fundamental components required for
IG manufacture in the last 12 months. Since
launching the double award winning Super
Spacer Alpha® the world’s best performing
spacer bar, TruShield® glass protection system,
TruPlas® SDL and TruSieve® desiccant last
October, Edgetech has also added a range
of ancillaries for IGU manufacturers which
includes Georgian bar, lead, cloth tape and
aluminium spacer bar.
In the same year, Edgetech brought
the revolutionary TruFit® perimeter edge
expanding foam installation tape, which
is already taking the market by storm. The

‘to be finalists in two
categories is brilliant’
new tape makes a neat and weather tight
seal around windows and doors and gives
consistently better thermal efficiency.
