The event was attended by Jean-Pierre Delanos, President of Horizal, who cut the ribbon on the £100,000 state-of-the art facility alongside Lord Goddard of Stockport. Also present were Mayor of Stockport Linda Holt, William Wragg MP, and many local councillors and businesspeople. “The opening went fantastically well and perfectly captured the positive mood surrounding the agreement between Alucorb and Horizal,” says Nick Corbett of Alucorb. “We are confident that our deal and ongoing partnership, despite Brexit fears, will be a great success.” The Horizal gates on display at the new showroom have a range of different finishes – including wood grain effect, stainless steel, anodised aluminium and many more. A growing UK market for aluminium gates The advantages of an aluminium gate are numerous - it is much lighter than wooden, iron or steel alternatives, is naturally rust-free, and boasts an incredible level of weather resistance. It is also an eco-friendly option as each gate is 100% recyclable, so can quickly and easily be turned into something else when no longer needed. Gates are delivered straight to site as and when requested, with Alucorb also assisting with each “Portalier’s” first installation. And – as Alucorb Business Development Manager Darren Weatherill explains – the Horizal range is enjoying considerable sales success: “We are dealing with far more interest than we anticipated and have experienced unparalleled sales growth since we started offering the “Portalier” concept throughout the UK. But the market is still relatively untapped and there’s a lot of demand out there to be met, so any gate automation companies interested in becoming a “Portalier” for their area should contact us as soon as possible”.
