provider, Hörmann UK, is recognising a
significant business milestone in 2019, marking
its 40th anniversary with a range of events
and incentives for both customers and
employees.
Founded in 1979, following the success of
its German counterpart, Hörmann UK has
firmly established itself as the number one
provider of industrial products, domestic
garage doors, front entrance doors, and
timber internal doors, as well as loading
technology and much more besides.
Over the last four decades Hörmann
UK has built a strong relationship with
homeowners, architects, specifiers, warehouse
owners and construction professionals,
reflected in its diverse and ever expanding
product and service offering.
Throughout 2019, Hörmann UK will be
hosting trips for both its employees and
customers to its headquarters in Steinhagen,
Germany, for an opportunity to find out more
about its German heritage and latest product
developments, whilst also hosting a ‘40 years
of Hörmann UK’ gala event, following the
Homebuilding & Renovating Show in March at
the NEC.
Wolfgang Gorner, Managing Director of
Hörmann UK, said: “Each year as a business
we continue to go from strength-to-strength,
with our 40 years in operation testament
to the hard work and commitment of
every single one of our employees. This
iconic milestone presents us with the ideal
opportunity to recognise each of them
individually throughout the year with a special
series of events.”

The 40th Anniversary follows successful and
continued growth in the service department,
which has doubled over the last year to now
offer a 20 strong fleet of engineers, available
to both existing and non-clients. This has been
achieved whilst also maintaining its impressive
market share in the domestic sector, offering
the highest standard in garage and entrance
doors via its nationwide network of stockists.
Wolfgang continued: “2019 is an extremely
exciting year for us as a business as we launch
our new timber composite internal doors
to the market, whilst also continuing to
expand our dedicated projects team, working
with some of the nation’s most high profile
clients. The future is looking very positive for
Hörmann UK and we are looking forward to
building on this further throughout the year
across all areas of the business.”
To celebrate the anniversary, Hörmann UK
will also be giving away the 40th domestic
garage door order it receives each month to a
lucky end user, as a way to thank its customers
for their continued loyalty and support.

Recently unveiled at BAU 2019,
Hörmann UK’s new HS 5012PU 42 S
spiral door features a 215mm narrow
side element, which allows for quick and
easy installation, even in the tightest of
spaces. Its counterbalance-without-springs
construction also provides a service-
friendly and virtually wear-free design,
without comprising on the maximum speed
of 1.2 m/s for opening and an impressive
0.5 m/s for closing. The door can also be
operated by Hörmann UK’s innovative
BiSecur radio control elements, providing
safe, secure and convenient operation
through its encryption protocol.
The latest HS 5012PU 42 S model is
also supported by Hörmann UK’s new
SmartControl system, a service offering that
is compatible with all Hörmann UK high-
speed doors manufactured from 2015.
Providing technical door analysis at all
times, the SmartControl system is an online
portal where professionals can access
important door information, such as error
messages or updates on door cycles and
overall performance.
The programme is designed to provide
cost-savings by aiding a reduction in the
frequency and duration of service and
maintenance visits by providing a platform
that allows for proactive and proficient
service planning.
The easy-to-use software also enables
parts to be ordered and replaced before a
breakdown occurs, significantly minimising any
potential downtime that may occur due to
faults or breakdowns. Faster troubleshooting
can also be achieved due to online access of
the door’s control, streamlining the servicing
process for professionals as no software
installation is required.
Phil Clark, Industrial Service Manager
for Hörmann UK, said: “Continuous
development of high quality, innovative
products and services is a central focus
for the business. We are committed to
providing the most innovative solutions
available to the European market and
our latest high speed door and servicing
offering further enhances this for both
existing and potential customers.”
The latest HS 5012PU 42 S spiral
door and SmartControl system will
be available to the UK market from
1st March.
