Alutech are mainly known for their insulated roller garage door lath and components, which are now included in a large percentage of roller garage doors manufactured in the UK. Alutech are now embarking on a major promotion of Insulated Sectional Garage doors. Having manufactured and supplied sectional doors for over 10 years, selling into many European countries, Alutech are now supporting JD UK to develop the UK market for its sectional garage door. Concerned that they are not viewed as an ‘also ran’ product, there are a number of key features of the product, that provide real differentiation to the competition. Mr. Rybakov, Marketing Director of Alutech Group, comments that: “The UK market is very interesting to us, from our research there is room for a company that will listen to the customers’ requirements and provide a better quality product, at a lower price, supported by some of the best technical and customer service staff in the UK. The technical specification is superior in a number of ways to the market leaders. The panel is thicker, seals more effective, colour choice more varied, and most importantly supported by people that care.” Alutech are constantly investing in product development, in line with market growth, their new production facility will open in early 2014. The scale of the development can be measured in the length of football fields, Alutech were reluctant to give any production figures, but are clear that at 4 football pitches long, there will be a lot of doors manufactured. Steve Hudson MD of JD UK, distributor for Alutech in the UK, says that we are so confident in the quality of the product that we will be inviting a limited number of prospective distributors and installers to visit the new factory in 2014 to see first-hand the exacting standards of Alutech’s manufacturing facility. For more details please contact either JD UK on 01924 472 924 or Alutech for prices, technical specification or to book yourself a place on one of the upcoming visits to Minsk. WHERE ELSE CAN YOU GET SUCH “ON THE LEVEL” SERVICE? “We’ve got three medium ribbed sectional garage doors fitted side by side and we want all the ribs to line up across the doors” came the request from AR Barber Garage Doors to Teckentrup’s Managing Director Jim Rodger. “No problem” came back Jim’s response. “Each door finishes at a different level so they’ll have to be spot on... Still no problem?” asked AR Barber Garage Doors. “Still no problem and we’ll come to site to make sure it all goes to plan” replied Jim. Just one of the product stories from the team at Teckentrup in their pursuit of the ultimate product and customer care package.

BUT NOT ITS’ PRICES Teckentrup’s garage door price list has always been a bit of a paradox, a sort of Dr. Who tardis, if you will. Its four pages remain unchanged but every edition somehow contains more useful information that is easier to read and use. This edition is no exception and has a new range of operators, more automation accessories, the full range of colours and Super-Size doors up to 8m wide x 6m high. Like the number of pages, the size of the prices has also remained unchanged.
