Special Offers
At Glass

Glass Systems, the UK’s largest independent sealed
unit manufacturer, is encouraging fabricators and
installers to visit stand 314 (hall three) to take
advantage of two ‘not to be missed’ product discounts.
Glass Systems is running a special
offer for both Climate conservatory
roof glass and decorative glass that
will run from the start of the FIT
Show until the end of June.
Decorative glass options include coloured,
neutral and bevelled designs, and will be on
display at the stand. Climate conservatory
roof glass is available in a range of different styles, each offering benefits such as
reduced glare from the sun, self-cleaning
and thermal efficiency; and the special price
reduction is likely to grab the attention at
the show.

Glass Systems, commented: “We’re also
running a special offer on two of our products for all new customers to the Group, so
to find out how you can take advantage of

Citroën To Showcase New
Relay Van At FIT Show
‘already sold
over 1.5million
units globally’
Citroën is to appear at
the FIT show for the
first time this year and
will mark its debut with
an early preview of the
forthcoming New Relay
panel van, which goes
on sale on 1 July.
The Relay has been a
workhorse of the glazing
industry since 1994 and
now FIT Show visitors will
be among the first to see its
next incarnation.
Jeremy Smith, Citroen’s Head of Commercial
Vehicles said: “The New
Citroën Relay represents a
major step forward for this
exceptionally successful
van range. It retains the
practicality, versatility and
interior comfort already
associated with the range,
but benefits from improvements, an increased focus
on advanced technology
and greater efficiency,
while maintaining its predecessor’s proven load-carrying ability.”
Previous versions of
the Relay have already
sold over 1.5million units
globally. The New Relay
will be showcased on stand
(1A30) alongside Citroën’s
award-winning small and
medium vans including the
popular Berlingo. Visitors
to the stand can also join
in a competition themed
to Citroën’s sponsorship of
the Discovery Channel.
The FIT Show takes place
at the Telfo rd International
Centre June 10th-12th with
the FIT Show Gala Dinner
on the evening of Wednesday June 11th.
