Leading PVC-U supplier VEKA plc, has signed an extended contract with one of its longest-standing customers.
The five-year Long Term Service Agreement (LTSA) with Martindale Trade Frames, marks a new chapter in a 20-year relationship between the two businesses, as commitment is extended beyond the traditional three-year terms.
Tony Crowther, director at Martindale Trade Frames, said: “Our partnership with VEKA has been immensely valuable over the years. This five-year commitment will continue to propel our business forward, ensuring stability and growth.”
Martindale Trade Frames has positioned itself as a premier ‘one-stop-shop’ for installers, making substantial investments in its glass machinery. A new auto-loading cutting line and glass cutting table have revolutionised production processes, creating a fully automated line capable of producing triple-glazed units. The new laminated cutting table will also support sustainability and ensure compliance with future regulation changes, with increased cutting precision reducing waste.
Looking ahead, the business has plans in place to invest in its PVC shop, with planning permission approved for an extension to accommodate new lines, further enhancing its production capabilities. Martindale Trade Frames is also dedicated to future-proofing activity to ensure compliance with all new appropriate regulations – with VEKA playing a key role in such plans.
Amy Steven, divisional sales director at VEKA plc, said, “We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Martindale Trade Frames through this new five-year LTSA. Their commitment to innovation and growth aligns perfectly with our vision at VEKA, and we look forward to continuing to support their success.”
Earlier this year, VEKA hosted a highly successful Partner Event, further strengthening their relationship with fabricators such as Martindale Trade Frames.
During the collaboration event, VEKA shared exclusive details of its strategic direction and latest range of products and services with fabricators from across the UK to enhance partnerships and drive growth across the sector.
