EGDirect, the Nationwide electric gate automation, access control and safety supplier along with its safety edge manufacturer partner, ASO Safety Solutions of Lippstadt, Germany have further expanded their customised offerings to OEM Door & Gate manufacturers in the UK & Irish markets. With the growing number of both well-established and new OEM manufacturers of garage/industrial doors and sliding, swing & Bi-fold gates in the market, the need for adaptability and customised safety edge profiles has never been more popular. From customised widths, heights and mounting foot shapes through to OEM branding printing on the material itself, ASO and its partner EGDirect have the complete safety edge package for all manufacturer’s needs. The innovative KS4 PRO self-assembly system perfectly complements this and can now be realised in more edge profiles than ever providing manufacturers and installers alike the ability to assemble IP67-rated safety edges from stock in a matter of minutes. In addition to the proven self-assembly method, pre-made to order products can also be supplied on minimal lead times, manufactured in our UK facilities to the strictest quality standards and packaged grouped or individually for easy storage & onward shipping. Stuart Roddy, National Sales Manager at EGDirect said: “As part of our commitment to providing customers maximum flexibility, we have been working closely with some key UK manufacturers recently on providing customised safety edge profiles for integration into their products. “From customised foot shapes to fit directly into OEM-made slats and bottom sections of doors, to specific sealing lip heights and material hardness, we have been able to meet the ever-evolving demands of our clients. “Having worked closely with customers understanding their exact requirements and often spending many hours at their facilities testing out new samples and designs to ensure they fit their needs, it has been a pleasure to see how well this is received and appreciated by them”. With impressively quick in-house design and turnaround times for new sample evaluation profiles, ASO Safety Solutions has proved itself both agile and willing when it comes to meeting the expectations and needs of OEM manufacturers. Dirk Danzebrink, head of sales for Europe at ASO said: “Due to having our own design teams and safety edge production lines under one roof, we can assist our worldwide partners quickly & efficiently with realising newly adapted products and samples which places us in an advantageous position in both UK and worldwide markets. “We have many examples of successful projects where we have gone above and beyond, to produce the best possible product to fit clients’ challenging needs and requirements”. Having an already well-established Midlands-based warehousing facility of some 50,000 + square feet, EGDirect offers a large stock holding of ASO profiles enabling its customers to benefit from short lead times and nationwide next-day shipping on most items.
