Time Cost Conscious Comar
Archetech - Page 38
As a leading British firm with systems
designed for the British commercial
fenestration market, Comar Architectural
Aluminium Systems has been in business
for thirty years. Comar is 100% British
and privately owned meaning that Comar
face the same constraints and worries as
their approved fabricator network in the
current prevailing economic climate.
However, Comar are enjoying
unprecedented success and having
survived several UK recessions, here,
Comar talk about how their systems
and business practices are securing
record levels of work for their approved
fabricator network. Costs associated
with time are rarely quantified in a busy
business, dealing with poor suppliers
who have unreliable lead times becomes
part of then norm and these subsequent
costs are swallowed as day-to-day
running costs.
Companies will invest in machine tools
to minimise production costs, but rarely
look at the efficiency of their suppliers
as this involves the short-term pain
of changing over to a new unknown,
supplier.
Comar invest in stock so that their
fabricators don’t have to, thus freeing
up valuable financial resources. For
polyester powder coating and dual
colour Comar have invested in another
facility next door to the industry
renowned B arley Chalu, ensuring coating
commences as soon as the order arrives.
Here stocks of mill finish ready to be
powder coated speed up coating leadtimes to the best in the aluminium
industry. Comar carry most profiles in a
standard white finish at their head offices
so white materials can be delivered to
fabricators on their next weekly delivery.
As Comar own and control their own
logistics fleet, this means that fabricators
who have large orders can rely on
flexibility of delivery when demanded.
Intrinsically, all Comar systems are multifunction profiles and accessories: profiles
have been designed so they can be used
in a variety of systems and applications.
This means fabricator knowledge of the
profile range is quickly assimilated and
wastage is reduced because profiles
can be used on the next project. In
summary Comar is British by Design.
This not only means aluminium facades
for curtain walling, windows, doors and
ground floor treatment that provide
longevity and legacy it means a British
designed infrastructure to deliver to the
uniquely demanding, time-critical British
construction market.
