Bi-folding hardware specialist, Debar is celebrating the successful partnership and growth in sales of one of their customers, Made for Trade

Stockton based, Made for Trade has seen a fantastic up-turn in the sales of their bi-folding door sets since partnering with Debar just over a year ago.

Bradley Guant, Made for Trade Managing Director commented, “We wanted to add more products to our portfolio. Manufacturing roofing systems meant we had the skills within our business to take on other complex manufacturing processes, so we decided to offer bi-folding door sets”

“Graham Fawthrop and his team at Debar offered more than just the supply of hardware for the doors, they assisted at every learning curve we experienced, this along with the fact their products are designed in accordance to operate perfectly with the Smart Visiofold aluminium bi-fold door system, aided us with our production.”

“Debar has some of the nicest people I have dealt with in the industry and it is always a pleasure to deal with a company where decisions are quick and responsive to the points we need, a very personal service.” Bradley advised.

Made for Trade has been supplying both trade and retail customers for over 33 years, with two-thirds of the business being to trade customers.

Graham Fawthrop, managing director said “It has been a pleasure to work with Made for Trade and even better our joint efforts have paid off and they have seen a fantastic rise in sales of their bi-folding door sets. We will continue to support Made for Trade and all our other customers with new innovation, development of our existing products and technical assistance.”
