Profix have adopted a recyclable bracing system for our cavity closures. This allows the frame bracing to be used many times reducing the need to buy additional material. This sits well with our environmental objectives and also allows us to credit customers when they are returned thus giving additional project savings.

With the pressure associated with a short lead time it is essential that raw materials arrive in time for manufacture. Profix has now linked to all its major suppliers over the internet allowing the company to transmit stock requirements based on survey activity thus making sure stock is available to satisfy customers delivery dates and reducing work in progress.

Deceuninck Status have introduced their new specification guide, a comprehensive catalogue which gives specifiers and contractors detailed information on the complete zendow® product range and associated ancillaries. The multifaceted catalogue contains a detailed summary of Deceuninck, the services and the intensive research and development behind system zendow® as well as in-depth technical data and specifications on all zendow® product permutations and associated ancillaries.

Deceuninck Status have reaffirmed their commitment to the UK market with a £5 million investment in a new distribution centre at the company’s UK headquarters based in Calne, Wiltshire. The 115,000 sqft distribution development became fully operational in July 2005 and, working alongside a second distribution centre in Royton, greater Manchester, will ensure excellent logistical service to all Profix - Deceuninck Status customers and their customers’ customers. A 132 metre long by 12 metre high elevation of the distribution centre encompasses the curtain walling system from Thyssen Polymer that was integrated into Deceuninck during 2004.
