Viva Las Liniar
ModLok™ bi-fold the ‘safe bet’ at Vegas exhibition.
» » LINIAR’S PARENT COMPANY,
Quanex Building Products, showcased its
range at this year’s GlassBuild America in
Las Vegas in September – and a set of UK-
designed, award-winning ModLok™ bi-fold
doors took a starring role on the stand.
The unique, ground-breaking PVCu bi-fold
has had an impressive impact on the fenestration
industry since its launch in 2014 and was
acknowledged at the highest level with a Queen’s
Award for Enterprise in Innovation last year.
Liniar CEO Roger Hartshorn, accompanied
by Bill Griffiths, President and CEO of Quanex,
attended a reception at Buckingham Palace in
recognition of the award, meeting Her Majesty
the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
“We know the American market is keen to
discover what makes the ModLok™ bi-fold
such a special product,” commented Robert
Thiroff, Liniar’s International Sales Director.
“There really is nothing like it currently
available in the States.
“The unique exoskeleton, combining
reinforcement and security with a patented
thermal lock, offers a PVCu bi-fold that acts as
an aluminium. PVCu is a growing market in the
States and this is just the first of many export
opportunities that we’re looking to explore.”
