Door Industry Journal - Summer 2020

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Industry News StellaGroup Move Offers Wider Product Range to AlluGuard Customers AlluGuard is famous throughout the door sector as a Yorkshire-based company, but people are less aware that AlluGuard is now part of StellaGroup – a pan-European collection of companies that specialise in closure, securities and solar protection solutions. StellaGroup was originally formed back in 2007 by the merger of two French companies – Profalux (which specialises in roller shutters for renovation) and La Toulousaine (France’s largest manufacturer of metal grilles and shutters). More companies have joined the fold since then and today StellaGroup comprises ten firms - based across France, Germany, Holland and the UK. In total, the combined group of companies generates a turnover in excess of € 470 million each year. AlluGuard joined the fold last summer and, as MD Gary Brooks explains, it is a move that will benefit both the company and its customers: “This is a major move for us, but one that fits us perfectly as a company. The firms within StellaGroup are all renowned for fast delivery times, high quality products, and excellent customer service – and these are all qualities that we pride ourselves on at AlluGuard,” he says. “And joining with StellaGroup has given us the opportunity to bring investment into the business and allowed us to launch new products and increase incremental sales. It has also increased our capabilities in product development and R&D in general. Equally, being a part of StellaGroup is great for our clients as it increases the range of products we can offer to them, such as sun protection, glass buildings, security shutters, sectional doors, and gates.” To find out more about the AlluGuard range of products call 0845 3665831 or email info@alluguard.co.uk www.alluguard.co.uk
