MACHINERY

2-PART INVESTMENTS FOR FUTURE GROWTH
»»MORLEY GLASS &
Glazing Ltd at Bruntcliffe Way
in Leeds has recently loaded its
new £1 million premises with
new equipment to manufacture
its highest quality insulated
glass (IG) sealed units with
Kommerling 2-part Polysulphide
Sealant from Thermoseal
Group.
As one of the Region’s
largest glass merchants and
manufacturers of IG units,
Morley Glass has seen 30% yearon-year growth due to the focus
on quality, customer service and
its dedication to staff.
Morley Glass’ Managing
Director, Ian Short told us: “We
decided to change to a 2-part
Polysulphide sealant to meet Kite
Mark approval for our customers.
Our main proviso in our choice
of sealant was an established
industry-leading brand delivered

by a reliable supplier. Our
new building gave us the space
for a range of additional IG
manufacturing equipment from
Best Makina, which includes: a
complete production line with
Robot Gun; 2 spacer saws; 2 PIB
machines; a static mixing machine
and a new 2-part machine for

use with Kommerling GD116
Polysulphide supplied by
Thermoseal Group.”
Ian continues: “We only work
with the best suppliers and have
been really impressed with the
commitment and support we
have received from Best Makina
in setting our equipment up

to work with our chosen IG
components. And because of
their commitment, we will now
showcase their machinery for other
UK manufacturers to view.
“Following the testing of
Kommerling GD116 in their
2-part machinery, Best Makina
engineers were impressed with
how great the sealant is and
how well it runs through their
machinery, so much so that they
are now recommending this
brand to other customers.
“We chose to purchase our
sealant from Thermoseal Group
to guarantee the reliable delivery
of a premium product from a
leading UK supplier who has a
friendly, supportive and dedicated
approach to meeting our business
needs.”

Fab Changeover
Long-standing Epwin
customer, Fab Frames, has
recently invested half a
million pounds into new
machinery. The investment
also coincided with the
South West trade supplier’s
changeover to Profile 22’s
new Optima system.
»»FAB FRAMES MANAGING
Director, Mike Taylor, explains: “As we made
the changeover we invested heavily into our
machinery, with 500k worth of new machines
coming over from Germany. These have now
spread us over six factories and covers 11,000
square feet. Covering every aspect of the
fabrication process, from welding to CNC
machines, the new machinery has seen our
capacity increase to 600 frames per week, and
we can now offer a one day turnaround on

emergency windows as we are open 24 hours
a day, six days a week. We have also increased
our employees from 80 to 110, which has
been a real boost for the local area.”
The company also prides itself on only using
the best quality components from reputable
suppliers, including Optima, Mike explains:

“So far it has been very well received, not only
by ourselves but installers and homeowners
alike. Optima offers a much better quality
and precise profile, and it is extremely easy to
install.”
