Clear Thinking Tudor Glass

Chelmsford-based Tudor Glass (Essex) recently moved to an 11,000ft2 fully equipped purpose-built factory with gantry crane, edge deletion cutting table, super spacer applicator and gas filling equipment. It now has the capacity to make 2,500 units per week.

Mike Whitlam, business development manager at Tudor Glass, said: "We were looking for a software vendor which would supply a flexible and cost-effective system that can change to meet our ever-changing and expanding needs, but we wouldn't have to buy everything at day one, so we can build on the software as we grow."

Malcolm Searle of Clear Thinking Software said: "We were pleasantly surprised and flattered that Mike chose our software over others … I particularly liked the way we can put our customer's information (name and logo) on the labels if they wish, and useful subtle things, like putting the unit weight on the label, all help with health and safety issues. I've found that the Glass Office and GlasSave programs are ideally suited for the UK market and that Malcolm and his team at Clear Thinking are very willing to take on board ideas from customers and incorporate them into their software."

Tudir Glass has also invested in the first edge deletion cutting table in the UK from Promac, which is the sole agent for GFPm – Italian manufacturer of laminate and glass cutting equipment. Joe Hague who heads up Promac's glass division said: "We were delighted when Tudor Glass chose Promac to supply not only the GFPm cutting table, but also a For.El IGU line, Pro Cut saw and argon gas filling equipment."
