EMPLAS says that as of this week, it has reinstated pre-lockdown standard delivery days across its ranges.

Managing director Ryan Johnson says the trade fabricator is also pulling forward its plans for the reinstatement of pre-shutdown lead times of ten days glazed and five days unglazed.

“The demand we’re seeing has now moved significantly beyond our early projections,” he said, “Starting the return when we did has given us the time and space to adapt our processes, train our teams and build capacity in a controlled, sustainable and most importantly safe manner.

“We’re now in a position to resume standard delivery days across core products – and critically, to do so while maintaining service levels and product quality so orders are delivered not only on-time but in full.

“We also continue to build capacity and expect to be able to reinstate our pre-Covid lead times later this month.”
He added that the control of IGU supply through its own glass business, Padiham Glass, meant that Emplas was also able to bring reliability to glass supply:

“Installers have a lot on their hands. They’re adjusting to new ways of winning business and fulfilling orders, if they can get their glass, their windows, entrance and bi-fold doors on a single delivery – and know it’s going to be there – it takes away something to think about.”
