Lucky 7 for selecta systems
28th February 2012

Leading PVC-u profile extruder Selecta Systems has made a storming start to 2012 and converted seven fabricators to their Advance 70 window system since the turn of the year.

The new starts join the 47 fabricators who switched to Selecta in 2011, continuing the companies impressive influx of new business. Selecta’s sales director Mark Richmond comments on the good news: “The market is very difficult at the moment so to kick off the year with seven new fabricators is a great achievement. We offer fabricators a powerful package – encompassing everything from high performing products through to technical & marketing support - and it’s this reason we continue to win new business.”

The product Mark refers to is Advance 70, a lead free, energy efficient five chambered window and door system that enables fabricators to achieve low U-values and the full spectrum of Window Energy Ratings. Advance 70 is easy to fabricate while the systems eco-friendly benefits enhances the ‘green’ credentials of all Selecta fabricators.  

But a fast growing customer base is not the only exciting development at Selecta in recent times. In 2011 the company launched Selecta Solar, a division that sells solar panels to the trade and installs domestically throughout the UK.

Selecta Solar has proved immensely successful since its inception and a lucrative alternative revenue stream for a company that has long specialised in window and door profile extrusion. Selecta certainly practice what they preach. So confident were they in the quality of their new product, the company installed 1652 solar panels on the roof of their premises – one of the largest roof installations in the UK.

More recently the company launched its new bi-folding door system and triple glazed bead into the market, two products that Mark claims has already generated a positive amount of interest from Selecta’s ever growing customer base. The bi-folding door can be supplied ready made or in kit form for fabricators who want to make the door themselves.

The new bead meanwhile can accommodate a 40mm triple glazed unit is launched in the UK following a successful trial by one of the companies Irish customers. “Demand for triple glazing may be very low at the moment but with government targets expected to require even lower U-values, triple glazing may move into the mainstream. When it does Selecta and our customers will be ready” Mark adds.

“Selecta has a lot to offer and the message is clearly spreading across the industry” Mark comments. “Converting seven fabricators from other systems to Advance 70 in two months is an excellent start to the year and I am confident we have the products and support to continue this run long into the future.”
