We Want More

Emmegi (UK) has equipped Framexpress in Telford with a full package of machinery for its brand-new aluminium factory – and installers are already demanding more output.

The fabricator has been a respected name in PVC-U products for more than 26 years but this summer, opened its first venture in aluminium, as it responded to demand from existing trade customers to broaden its offering so that they don’t need to go anywhere else.

The new facility is a 12,000sq.ft purpose designed unit situated alongside an existing Framexpress composite door facility.

 

Planning

The Emmegi (UK) team visited during the planning stage and recommended a full aluminium machinery start up package. This includes a Classic Magic saw, Phantomatic X4 CNC, Solution crimper, bead saw and Lilliput end miller, as well as Acca XL work benches, Spin 4 gasket trolley, Stack and Taglio cut piece trollies and WT450 finished frame racks. They also provided advice on layout, operation and training.

Ian Latimer, Emmegi (UK)’s MD, says: “This is our classic package, ideal for companies like Framexpress who want to guarantee efficiency as well as precision. With a crimper, bead saw and end miller included alongside the saw and CNC, Framexpress has everything it needs to start manufacturing aluminium products.

“The package is especially good value because it also includes a gasket trolley and work benches, demonstrating our strength as a one stop shop for all aluminium machinery needs.”

 

Expansion

Jonny Green, the principal product manager at Framexpress says: “Emmegi machines were recommended to us on the basis of quality and durability and that they can do everything we need right now and grow with us as we expand in the future.

“We especially liked the fact that Emmegi could also supply all the trolleys and ancillary machines, so that we can deal with just one supplier and get all the installation, training and servicing we need from one place.

 

Smarts

“We’re already fabricating Smarts bi-folds and windows and will easily be able to add sliders to our range soon. Customers appreciate that, like our PVC-U products, our aluminium products have a higher specification than standard. We’re already winning business from existing trade customers who have added aluminium to their retail offerings and want to single source everything they sell and fit. And we’re very confident we will win new customers as well when they see how impressive our set up is.”
