Haffner demonstrates excellence with machinery relocation support

Machinery specialist Haffner  has demonstrated the strength of its service offering with the successful relocation of machinery for long-standing customer Mercury Glazing, ensuring fabrication continuity with minimal disruption.

Specialist PVC-U and aluminium fabricator Mercury Glazing required its existing Haffner machinery to be transferred into its main manufacturing facility in Gloucester as part of an operational reorganisation. With production uptime critical, the project demanded careful planning, efficient execution and rapid recommissioning.

Haffner’s experienced team managed the entire process, from dismantling and transportation through to installation and commissioning. The relocation, which included four machines and the large CNC machining centre, was completed in just two days, ensuring everything was back up and running with minimal disruption.

Martin Halford, Managing Director at Mercury Glazing, said: “The Haffner team relocated our machinery and had everything up and running in just 48 hours. They were incredible, and nothing was too much trouble for them. There’s no substitute for quality products or service and you get what you pay for with Haffner.”

Matt Thomas, Managing Director at Haffner, commented: “Supporting customers goes far beyond supplying machinery. Projects like this highlight the importance of having the right expertise in place to manage relocations and ongoing support efficiently, ensuring productivity is maintained at all times.”

Haffner has over 30 years’ experience supporting window and door fabricators, with machinery installed in thousands of operations throughout the UK. Since 1990, the company has evolved alongside the industry, embracing advances in automation to help improve efficiency and output across fabrication environments.

Its service support spans relocation, upgrades, maintenance and technical expertise, ensuring fabricators continue to get the best from their machinery throughout its lifecycle. Haffner also delivers tailored solutions across PVC-U and aluminium, helping customers maximise their output with machines designed to perform. All fabrication services are delivered from its UK-based facility in Staffordshire, supporting fabricators across England, Scotland and Wales.

The successful relocation at Mercury Glazing highlights the value of working with an experienced machinery partner, where both machinery performance and service support play a vital role in maintaining efficient fabrication processes.
