UNION brand provides
an extensive range of
architectural products for
commercial and contract
applications and is
recognised worldwide.
UNION offers customers
a range of products to

existing and new markets.

closers, rims locks, mortice
locks, access control,

UNION’s quest to ease
time and pressure for its
customers when ordering
Masterkey Systems, has led
it to introduce a new online
ordering system. The easy to
use system allows customers
to place their order in five
simple steps, whilst being
guided throughout, making
the process as effortless
as possible when it comes
to managing existing suite
systems and obtaining new
products for new Masterkey
suites.
By eradicating the
traditional and time
consuming ordering
methods, UNION provides a
quick service that eliminates
administrative errors and
improves traceability,
so everybody knows at
which stage the order is
at, throughout the entire
process.
You will be able to see
UNION and talk to one
of its friendly staff about
its easy to use Masterkey
ordering system or any of the
company’s range of products
