Aluminium trade fabricator, Garrard Windows, has announced that its sales have grown 15% year on year and is gearing up for further growth with the help of its hardware partner, Kenrick.
Kenrick has reportedly been supplying its Nemesis multi-point window locking system for aluminium profiles to Garrard for 18 months, during which time it is said to have increased production each month as demand for aluminium continues to rise. Garrard Windows says that the expansion has also prompted it to substantially increase its dedicated aluminium production space to 42,000ft2.
Lucy Griffith, office manager at Garrard Windows, commented: “We’ve been fabricating aluminium for nine years now and have grown to become one of the biggest fabricators of Smart Systems’ aluminium products. We’re now fabricating around 300 frames a week and our sales forecasts are very strong indeed.
“To achieve our ambitious targets, we needed to work with the right hardware supplier that could provide the quality and value we expect, whilst also being able to keep pace with our growth. We have a very long alliance with Kenrick, as they also supply locking systems to our PVC business, and we knew that they had the capability and capacity to support this growth. Dependable service levels are everything in this industry and having Kenrick on board as a reliable supplier has been essential to help us manufacture efficiently and deliver high quality windows on time.”
Steve Williams, Kenrick’s sales and marketing director, added: “We’re delighted to have established such a long-standing partnership with Garrard Windows and to have supported their impressive growth in the aluminium sector with our Nemesis product. We know that it’s vital to maintain the highest standards in terms of product quality, service and value and we look forward to continuing to supply to Garrard as they go from strength to strength.”
