7 THE door industry journal summer 2021 Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Industry news the new RollMatic T roller door will take centre stage on the Hörmann stand, together with their popular sectional garage doors, and steel and aluminium entrance doors. Demonstrations illustrating just how quick and easy the RollMatic T roller door is to install will take place on the Hörmann stand throughout the show. Visitors will be able to see the most advanced automation systems which feature Bluetooth technology enabling opening and closing of both garage and entrance doors using a mobile phone or tablet. This is in addition to the conventional operation by way of remote control using handheld transmitters. Wolfgang Gorner, MD of Hörmann UK comments, “The FIT show provides Hörmann with the ideal opportunity to showcase our garage doors to a new market sector. We know that more fabricators and installers are looking to expand their offering and Hörmann garage doors are the ideal fit. Not only do we offer an extensive and high-quality range of garage doors, but the introduction of our RollMatic T also offers the quickest and easiest door to fit on the market – truly fitter friendly. “Steel entrance doors and our Smart technology complete what is an exciting and innovative range of products on show - the team and I are looking forward to welcoming existing and new customers to FIT Show.” UK Doors Online is one of many brands that are set to make their FIT Show debut. The company focuses on producing high-quality aluminium bifold, french, patio and entrance doors, with a fleet of delivery vehicles to get doors out across the UK. UK Doors Online supports other fabricators manufacturing Alutech Systems products, who will also be exhibiting at FIT Show, with in- house training and development of new products to add to the range. Natasha Erskine, UK Doors Online marketing director comments: “As a new start-up, we think exhibiting at FIT Show is the perfect opportunity to showcase our business and let the trade know about the services we can offer. “We will be using FIT as a platform to launch some new products to our range, but we are keeping those under wraps for now. Watch this space! Our main focuses are going to be on brand awareness and reaching some new customers. FIT Show is the ideal place for us to do all of this, under one roof across the three days of the show. “As I’m sure is the case for many others, we have really missed face to face interaction – so it will be great to get back in front of people and make up for the lost time. FIT Show will be a great springboard to get us back to the ‘traditional way of selling’ and get back to some normality. We can’t wait!” FIT Show event director Nickie West added: “We’re excited by the breadth of brands that make our stellar FIT Show line-up. The fact that over 40% of the brands that are due to exhibit will be making their FIT Show debut is a major pull for visitors. “Visitor appetite for FIT Show remains strong with an unprecedented level of early registrations. We’re all looking ahead to September as a crucial marker in the industry’s roadmap as we strive to get back to face-to-face business and reconnect with the market. “FIT Show will present the first opportunity for the market to see, touch and compare the latest products side-by-side since 2019. I’m excited to welcome our new and returning brands, and our visitors when we open the doors to FIT Show 2021.” FIT Show is the UK’s number one, award-winning showcase for the glass, glazing, window, door, hardware and components industry. FIT Show will return to the NEC 26 - 28 September 2021. Visit www.fitshow.co.uk for more information.
