Alutrend’s parent company, which was founded in 1974, manufactured and installed aluminium windows. Later the firm diversified and developed new and innovative aluminium gates and associated products - and Alutrend was born. Alutrend continues to create high quality aluminium products that are made specifically for professional installers. Alugate UK Managing Director Stewart Phillips believes that Alutrend is the best possible choice for any installers looking to offer aluminium gates: “I have a background in the gate trade and had heard about the excellent reputation of Alutrend aluminium gates, so I began to look into the possibility of distributing them here,” he explains. “I was amazed when I first went to Italy to see the factory and the manufacturing process, as the level of care and attention they put into the production of each gate is phenomenal. That’s why I became determined to supply Alutrend products to the UK market – to give British installers access to aluminium gates that really are the best in the business.” The gates supplied by Alutrend offer a distinct advantage over other aluminium gates as they are welded together, as opposed to being sectional, making them much stronger. Also, all Alutrend gates are CE Marked – so, when combined with a CE Marked motor, the products used in the installation meet all legal requirements.
