• Exploration Proves Effective

AluK announced a first-of-a-kind partnership with IGU specialist Clayton Glass, at its recent Exploration Day, which is designed to make buying and fitting glass easier and more cost effective.

This includes preferential glass pricing deals for AluK fabricators and installers, free onsite training and technical support via Clayton Glass’s dedicated SASSY sales and service support vehicle and access to Clayton Glass’ EcoCycle glass recycling scheme.

Russell Yates, AluK’s MD says: “It’s significant that this is the first time that Clayton Glass has joined forces with any aluminium systems company and shows just how determined AluK is to add value to our customer offering.

“This partnership on IGUs sits alongside all the other elements of our customer support package – from specialist marketing and technical support to in-house testing facilities and free training at the AluK Academy and gives fabricators yet another reason to upgrade their system to AluK.”

Clayton Glass director Ryan Green adds: “We already supply lots of AluK customers, so this brings another dimension to that and lets them access special pricing deals.”

The SASSY vehicle, which was a big attraction at the Exploration Day, can now be booked for free training and technical support at any AluK fabricator’s premises.

Recycling

AluK customers also now have access to Clayton Glass’ EcoCycle scheme alongside the CAB’s Closed Look Recycling Scheme that AluK has signed up to. EcoCycle is a recycling service dedicated to post-consumer glass waste and takes advantage of the fact that glass, like aluminium, is one of the most recyclable materials on the planet. I

AluK customers can book in a free EcoCycle collection of glazed frames and loose glass to coincide with their delivery from Clayton Glass and save on waste management and skip costs. They can improve the sustainability of their operations and, at the same time, be part of the EcoCycle mission which channels the profits from the initiative into grants for local good causes.

Picture: AluK just hosted its Exploration Day at its Chepstow facility. Groups of potential new customers and industry insiders were given guided tours of the factory, seeing first-hand how products, are designed, tested and manufactured – including the soon to be launched IconiK bi-fold, which was undergoing final testing on one of the in-house test rigs. During the tours, Chris Dawkins (seen here), AluK’s operations director explained how the impressive logistics operation helps AluK maintain a 5-day lead time on standard products, while quality manager Tony Leech showed behind the scenes of the vertical powder coat paint line, emphasising all the benefits to customers that come from having such a facility in-house.
