Stainless Steel sales continues to rise !
Leading hardware supplier the Trojan Group are once again witnessing a steady rise in sales for their Stainless Steel hardware range as winter approaches . This comes as no surprise to the company who has lead the market for some years with their impressive Stainless-Steel door furniture range all backed with a 25-year anti corrosion guarantee .
Increasing numbers of call outs affect not only your bottom line but also your reputation . Call-outs , replacement costs and
reputational damage will all have an impact on your business especially in an economic climate where everyone is still choosing their suppliers carefully .
As a result of this industry problem more fabricators and installers are turning to high grades of stainless steel as the answer . Stainless steel products are extremely durable and more than capable of withstanding the most ferocious of winters without losing their good looks or functionality .
