Armstrong Industries is the latest PVC-U window and door manufacturer that has decided to #ComeAlong to Kömmerling, having changed from another systems company, with whom they had been an established customer for 23 years. The Coventry-based manufacturer has been in business since 1996, operating in the South East, Midlands and Home Counties and has already started production of the Kömmerling 70 system in the form of C70 and O70, along with the enhanced PremiLine patio door. The decision to make the change was, according to Managing Director John Armstrong: “A decision that I should have made several years ago, yet the re-ignited brand this year was the real catalyst for change.”
He also went on to highlight an important business message: “We tried to build a price-orientated business and it was seemingly an unsustainable race to the bottom. Now with investment in what I believe is the best systems house and new German Rotox machinery, we want to build our brand at the upper end of the market as do our valued customers.”
Armstrong Industries will also look to be actively promoting their in-house paint line which enables them to finish any Kömmerling window or door to RAL and even Farrow & Ball colours. Gareth Jones, Managing Director of profine UK and the Kömmerling brand commented: “We’re thrilled to bring Armstrong Industries into the Kömmerling family and this is yet another business that has recognised the re-awakening of the brand in the UK. We’ve got bold plans for 2020 with Fensterbau, several events including a golf day and the launch of an installer scheme to help support all of our manufacturing partners including our new ones such as Armstrong Industries.”
