Emplas has been named as the new franchise for specialist inline sliding door manufacturer, PatioMaster.
The fabricator was appointed as PatioMaster Anglia at the end of October, becoming the sole PatioMaster supplier in the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire and Greater London.
Mike Crewdson, sales and marketing director, Emplas and PatioMaster Anglia, said that Emplas had had the PatioMaster brand in its sights for some time.
He said: “To secure the PatioMaster Anglia franchise is important to us because it gives us a really strong association with one of the industry’s leading inline sliding door brands. This delivers value to us as a fabricator but also to our customers and particularly those in retail.
“It’s an established product, delivers a host of installation efficiencies and for that reason is very popular with installers and homeowners.
“Reliability is a huge value to our trade customers, which is why we have supplied the PatioMaster door for so long. They can sell it, fit it and forget it. That quality and performance is critical. Call-backs and problems can simply blow away margin.
“Fabricators buying in inline sliders don’t want the grief from the installers and installers don’t want call backs to site.
“We have an established and highly engineered product, where those problems just don’t happen. That and the brand association that becoming part of the PatioMaster Network gives us, delivers real benefits to our customers.”
