New machines reinforce partnership
Bi-folding door and conservatory roof supplier Made for Trade has seen its
relationship with machinery specialist Emmegi strengthened - after the
purchase of two new CNC saws to manufacture its Korniche lantern roof.
Made for Trade, which
operates over several
factories in Teesside,
now owns four CNC machines supplied by the
brand, with Emmegi’s
sales manager Martin
Linnell describing the
partnership between
the two firms as ‘genuine.’
He said: “Over the past
four years, Made for Trade
has shown real loyalty to
Emmegi and we have repaid
that by delivering exemplary
service all the way.”
Martin added: “Since we
first started talking to Bradley Gaunt (Made for Trade’s
managing director) and his
team about what he wanted
for his business, we’ve
supplied a whole raft of
machines to match their ambitious expansion plans and
have supported them all the
way with quality products,
reliable service and expert
advice when required.”
Prior to the arrival of the
CNC machines, Made for
Trade had been operating
older profile saws, which
restricted production when
the business saw increased
demand and expansion.
Emmegi advised on the
purchase of a Classic Twin
electronic double mitre saw
in 2013 which boasted electronic angle positioning to
allow for greater accuracy.
Impressed with the
service, Made for Trade ordered a second Phantomatic
T3A and bead saw in 2015
and two more saws were
Cutters deliver ultimate durability
C.K. tools has enhanced its
popular range of Redline
VDE side cutters, adjusting
the cutting edge to provide
the optimal angle for the
efficient cutting of electrical
cables.
Historically, side cutters were
manufactured with a one size
fits all approach, made with an
obtuse cutting angle to provide
the strength needed for cutting
through high tensile steel wire
used in the construction industry.
Until now, there has been a distinct lack of choice for side cutters
that are specifically designed for
the effortless cutting of wires
electricians deal with, day in, day
out.
As a leading brand in electrical
hand tools, C.K tools enlisted
independent metallurgists and
engineers to make C.K tools side
cutters the best an electrician
can buy. This involved using the
finest German steel, induction
hardened in a closely controlled
process using specially formulated quenching technology to
deliver the ultimate durability.
Through an exhaustive testing
program, C.K tools redefined
the cutting geometry of its side
cutters to define the optimum
blade angles for the effortless
cutting of copper and aluminium
cables.
Independent, controlled testing
proves that this fusion of engineering expertise has a marked
impact on the ease of cut and
blade durability. Thanks to these
developments, C.K tools says its
Redline VDE Side Cutters require
up to 18% less force than other
leading brands.

added this year to help meet
demand, including a specifically tooled X4 axis machine
for the manufacture of the
company’s new aluminium
lantern roof.
Made for Trade’s Bradley Gaunt said: “When we
decided new machinery was
required during the expansion of the business, we
felt Emmegi was absolutely
the right company to go to.
They were able to deliver quality equipment that
could cope with the high
demands of our factories.”
With the launch of its innovative aluminium lantern
roof, Made for Trade hopes
that the high tech machinery will not only help to
accommodate an increase
in sales but also allow for
accurate and fast production
of its new product.
Bradley said: “Our loyal
customer database is increasing on a weekly basis
and the CNC saws will allow
us to increase productivity and become even more
accurate and efficient.”
About the Korniche lantern
he added: “From the word
go, the experience of taking
delivery of the Korniche will
be all about quality, style
and ease of fitting for the
installer.
