Making the change

The industry is going through a period of change – and many fabricators are choosing to spread the risk by either dual sourcing their PVCu profile or changing system company altogether.

Choosing to change such an integral part of the fabrication process takes time and opting for the right systems company to help take your business forward isn’t an easy decision. The question is – how does a company make such a big decision? Before making any decisions on systems, there are several factors to consider – and while price is one of those factors, there are several reasons why it shouldn’t be on the only one.

Fabricators have to ask themselves why they’re changing – and what they want out of the next extrusion company they partner with. When researching alternative suppliers for PVCu profile, companies should consider the following factors: quality, innovation, supply and investment.

Quality

No matter the price range of your product, consistently good quality is a must-have. The ability to trust that the next product you receive is as good as the last should be the standard for the industry – but this isn’t always the case

Choosing Liniar gives fabricators the peace of mind that the standards this leading systems company has in place ensure that products are manufactured properly – and meet accreditations no matter the size.

“With pressure on fabricators and installers to meet product safety and compliance, Liniar’s practices and stringent testing allow them to feel confident in the products they’re manufacturing,” says Group Sales Director Nigel Bishop.

Innovation

Offering property owners a range of the most cutting-edge products and having the ability to cross-sell complementary ranges is essential to the growth of a fabrication company. Liniar fabricators benefit from sustained investment into the innovation of new products, ideas and methodology. This type of innovation brings not only industry-leading products but helps make fabricator processes more efficient.

Supply

A reliable chain of supply from raw materials to finished product is essential for the entire supply chain to be profitable. Choosing Liniar as your systems company means extensive investment in stock for fast delivery and a stable supply chain of raw materials – even through the turmoil of Brexit.

Nigel tells us, “This is literally a multi-million pound investment by Liniar. Not all systems houses can commit to this financially, which equals significant risk if fabricators cannot satisfy commitments to customers.”

Investment

All the features of an industry-leading systems company are controlled by one major business focus: investment. Without a comprehensive focus on investment, a systems company can’t provide world-class customer support, marketing materials, superb service and consistently excellent quality products.

Nigel concludes, “If the systems company you’re researching for your business ticks all these boxes, you’re onto a winner. It goes without saying that’s why more and more fabricators are choosing Liniar as a result.
