Reynaers Keeps Rolling Like A River

Richard Hall, managing director of Reynaers Aluminium UK, expects things to continue rolling on for the company throughout 2023 – with the steady flow of current trends becoming more like a river.

One particular trend will be the continued high demand for aluminium across both the commercial and residential sectors according to Hall who also predicts that slimmer sightlines and narrow frames will continue to be a popular choice across both markets.

 

Economic challenges

Despite signs that we’re about to embark on a challenging 12 months, demand for aluminium is expected to continue says Hall as he points to  the latest Glenigan Construction Industry Forecast which suggests there will be a two per cent slip back in projects starting in 2023, while the residential market is set to see a drop off in demand as the cost-of-living crisis bites.

 

 “While these challenges can’t be ignored, opportunities remain and a commitment to quality and service will allow trusted brands to stand apart.”

“Here at Reynaers, we continue to prioritise product development to deliver quality, high performance products giving our partners every confidence,” continues Reynaer’s Hall. “In supplying both the commercial and trade and retail sectors, Reynaers benefits from opportunities in both markets and we will be looking to continue to grow our market share through.”

 

Sustainability

Hall adds: “Sustainability will continue to be a major consideration for the industry as we move towards 2025 and further revisions to building regulations. Ensuring the right products are available, when they are needed, will be an essential part of planning and product development.

“With the launch of our sustainability strategy in November 2022, Reynaers Act, we have set out a clear pathway across the organisation on how we intend to reduce the carbon footprint of our products, the buildings they are used in and our operations. Work to support this and to meet our commitment to Science Based Target Initiatives is underway,

To meet sustainability targets and increase efficiency, digitalisation will be a core focus. We’re aiming to introduce digital passports for all of our products to support ease of use and access to information but crucially to embed environmental credentials. The aim is to have these completed by 2024. This will be supported by the Reynaers catalogue, which will also become fully digital.”
