Improvements Fuel Glazing Bead Growth
Haldane has cemented our position as the UK's leading manufacturer
of timber glazing bead with yet another contract secured with a
major door manufacturer and dozens of new customers served this
year alone.
The secret of our success is the continuous improvements we are
making to the efficiency of our manufacturing process which we are
able to pass to our clients.
Production Manager, Dave Sinclair, explained, "The implementation
of our lean manufacturing process brought about considerable reductions
in lead times and increases in production capacity. This enabled
us to launch our foil wrapped glazing beads however our success
in this area demanded further enhancements and investment to both
our equipment and our process.”
He continued, “Our glazing bead production is now the most
efficient in the country to the extent that we can offer clients
unbelievable lead times to meet their demanding production schedules
and at a price that competitors cannot match.”
The results have been simply incredible with a 15% rise in glazing
bead orders already this year despite some adverse market conditions
reported from many competitors.
Our standard range of circles, ovals and d-shapes have all experienced
growth however the most significant growth has been seen in ladder
frames, cassettes and security beads.
Dave added, “Our clients enjoy consistent levels of superior
quality and turnaround that make inhouse processes look costly and
competitors look positively inferior.”
