INDUSTRYNEWS Polyframe – The largest fleet in the industry? When you fabricate in excess of 10,000 frames per week, you need to guarantee that all deliveries are covered. With four factories and a nationwide network of 14 trade centres, the logistics of organising nationwide deliveries on a five day lead time is a serious business. As a result Polyframe recently invested in six, new 18-ton trucks, one new 7.5-ton truck and two new 3.5-ton Luton vans, taking the total number of vehicles in the fleet to over 30. Chris Watson, Group MD, commented, “The Polyframe fleet has grown beyond recognition over the past few years, from five or six vehicles five years ago to the staggering number we are at now. As a business we cover the whole of the UK and Ireland so we need to ensure that we can meet all our customers’ delivery schedules, on the tightest of lead times.” The new vehicles will be based at Halifax, Norwich and the Composite Door factory in Mansfield. Vehicles are central to Polyframe’s ‘Clearly Greener’ recycling scheme – all vehicles bring post-consumer waste back to their depots. THE VEKA UK GROUP TO EXHIBIT AT THE BUILD SHOW Showcasing its high quality PVC window and door profile systems, The VEKA UK Group is the latest exhibitor to join the ranks at the inaugural Build Show, to take place at the NEC from 28-30 April 2015. The Group will highlight solutions from across its range of products designed for the construction, refurbishment and home improvement industries. The Group demonstrated its position as the industry leader in PVC-U systems with the unveiling of the innovative ‘Imagine’ Bi-Fold Door during 2014 and this will be a key focus on their stand at The Build Show, along with the Flush French Door from the same range. It will also show the next generation of the Matrix suite of window profiles – M70. Fully re-engineered and available from 2015, this features an updated chamfer style with more contemporary lines. Additional chambers increase thermal performance to meet the current and future requirements for more energy-efficient glazing. Paul Godwin, Build Show MD, said: “We’re really pleased with the way the event is taking shape and support from high profile companies such as The VEKA UK Group is helping to make it really special.” www.buildshow.co.uk, www.vekauk.com REHAU CONGRATULATES AUTHORISED PARTNER PRIZE WINNERS REHAU has once again presented trophies to the two members of its Authorised Partner scheme who have scored highest in terms of customer satisfaction over the past year.
