NFA Win Completes Trio Of Awards For Synseal Group
Synseal Group was voted PVC Company 2017 in the National Fenestration Awards in December, topping off a year that also saw them win an innovative technology award for the WarmCore aluminium system, and Glass Company of the Year at the G17 Awards.
Winning more than 30% of the vote in a competitive PVC-U category, the multi-product supplier claims the win is down to continual investment in their PVC-U manufacturing with two major projects conducted in 2017: their One White project and the roll-out of their 30% recycled EnviroCore technology.
Andy Jones, Group Sales and Marketing Director at Synseal Group, explained: “It was great to end last year winning an award for our PVC-U manufacturing, which will always be at the heart of our business activity even as our aluminium, glass and composite door brands continue to grow.
“With a PVC-U fabricator customer base exceeding 350, we have one of the largest PVC-U networks in the UK and we extruded more than 31 million metres of profile last year. Alongside this production, we rolled out two major projects, introduced to make it even easier for our customers to do business with us.
“The first, our One White project, is just coming to completion and will give our customers a colour match guarantee across all our white PVC-U products including all profiles, ancillary products and conservatory roof profiles from our Global and K2 ranges. Over the years we have acquired a number of brands with a number of different white shades, so this investment will enable our customers to confidently mix and match between the best of our product ranges.
“In addition, we have finished rolling out our EnviroCore technology to our Shield, Legend and SynerJy profiles. This is a 30% premium recycled core, using reprocessed post-production waste to create a real quality recycled product to help us and our customers to reduce their carbon footprint.
“I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our customers and their installers who voted for us in this category and for recognising the steps we’re taking to further improve our PVC-U product range.”
Synseal Group was a finalist in eight of the NFA categories including Aluminium Company, IGU Manufacturer and Systems Company, which they won in 2016. Synseal’s marketing assistant, Katherine Taylor, also narrowly missed out in the Young Person category to James Haselden of Premier Conservatory Supplies – although Synseal had two reasons to congratulate them as the K2 and Stratus roof fabricator also took home the Conservatory Roof Fabricator accolade.
