In fact, the supplier is now seeing a resurgence in the popularity of Avanti automation. But what is it that has ensured the longevity of Avanti’s appeal?... The powerful Avanti motor smoothly and quietly lifts any garage door, utilising a maintenance-free belt for the lifetime of the product. The operator’s anodised aluminium extrusion enables maximum protection and is precision-rolled to ensure perfect shape and maximum strength for years to come. The Avanti operator uses a robust galvanised steel boom and Kevlar belt to take the weight of the door with ease. Avanti can be used for new and retrofit or replacement applications. The operator program has a wide range of settings, allowing installers to tailor the motor performance to perfectly suit the demands of any type of tracked door. The operator’s built-in LED lighting is automatically activated each time you use the garage door, which can also be independently activated by the Avanti’s hand transmitter. The Avanti door operator comes with a wide range of automation accessories and additions. A digital keypad can be installed allowing secure operation of the door motor by the entry of a PIN code. Alternatively, a wall-mounted wireless push button can be fitted, allowing easy one-touch operation. A photo-cell sensor system can also be combined with the Avanti Garage Door Opener so that when the beam is broken by driving out of the garage, the motor then automatically closes the garage door. Battery backup systems are a popular addition and recommended when the garage door is the only point of entry into the garage. In the event of a power cut, the door can still be operated. Avanti also features a great range of function settings, including a holiday mode. For more information, please call 01924 472924 or email sales@jdukltd.co.uk .

With 17 state-of-the-art manufacturing locations throughout Europe, StellaGroup brought improved buying power and investment to the UK manufacturer behind the Seceuro range of roller shutters and garage doors, and with it came an opportunity to share product knowledge and expertise to propel SWS forwards. And with the easing of travel restrictions in the past 12 months, there’s been a renewed focus on capitalising on synergies within the group, with industrialisation and production efficiencies at the forefront. SWS has been working closely with sister company La Toulousaine, a leading manufacturer of closure solutions in the French market. Based near Toulouse in southern France, the company has more than 60 years of expertise and employs more than 300 staff across four state-of-the-art manufacturing plants. As part of the ongoing collaborations, members of the SWS team recently visited the site of fellow StellaGroup company Profalux. The pioneering French company designs manufacture and sell more than 1,200 roller shutters, sun blinds and roller garage doors every day, with more than 3 million products fitted in France since they were founded more than 50 years ago. Investing in industrial automation has been critical to its success, and SWS is keen to capitalise on its significant experience in this area. SWS is also making the most of new talent from within StellaGroup. French graduate Thomas Nobileau joined the company earlier this year on a mechanical engineering internship from Profalux. Thomas is working on several key automation projects for SWS, and his background in project management, engineering and continuous improvement is proving invaluable. SWS UK Managing Director Kevin Lindeque said “For 37 years we’ve taken pride in our heritage as a UK manufacturer, but we’re also a stronger company because of our position within StellaGroup. While the names within the group may not be well known in the UK, in their domestic markets they are all major players. We’re reaping the rewards of their expertise and experience, and look forward to working together on new projects and developments as we move forwards together.” Visit www.stella.group/en/ to find out more about StellaGroup. single page advertorial full page advertorial
