Forel to debut at FIT Show 2025
Forel UK & Ireland will exhibit for the first time at FIT Show 2025.
The company, which won the G24 Award for Machinery Innovation for its work on ‘skinny triple’ sealed units, will showcase its latest advancements in machine technology, designed to produce the highest quality products in the most efficient way possible and deliver a significant competitive edge for customers.
Brian McDonald, CEO Forel UK & Ireland, commented: “The FIT Show represents the largest trade show for the UK window, door and glass industry, and it gives us an opportunity to present our vision of what is needed to facilitate change.”
Forel has had a presence in the UK & Irish markets for nearly 50 years.
The experience and knowledge of the UK & Ireland team is said to be equally strong, complimented by direct support from Forel headquarters in Treviso Italy. Brian said: “Having a direct presence within the UK that is available and responsive to customers is crucial, as is the ability to service those needs with direct sales, technical, and spare part support.”
Brian adds that Forel is renowned for exhibiting on a global scale and that Forel machines are installed in over 70 countries globally. Amongst recent events, Forel has expanded its manufacturing headquarters to 60,000m2 making it one of the biggest independently owned machinery businesses in this sector.
Brian added: “The Forel philosophy when it comes to exhibitions and marketing has always been to exhibit when possible, ensuring our customers can experience our technologies firsthand.
“Visiting the FIT Show in 2025 is something that I hope all within our industry will do, especially when you consider the pace of change, what’s new and what’s possible for the future. On our stand we will be delighted to meet representatives from all aspects of the supply chain, that might directly need our machinery solutions or benefit from our technologies further downstream, to both share and discuss how together we can feasibly introduce positive change and improvements to our market.”
Forel is a machinery manufacturer based in Treviso Italy and is widely recognised for technical innovation, high performance and extended reliability. Founded by Fortunato Vianello in 1976, the company now employs well over 300 people worldwide.
Nickie West, FIT Show 2025 event director, expressed her enthusiasm about Forel joining the lineup: “We’re thrilled to welcome Forel UK & Ireland to FIT Show 2025. Their commitment to automation and innovation aligns perfectly with our vision for the event. Visitors will have the unique opportunity to see Forel’s cutting-edge machine technology in action on the big screen as part of their stand, including their award-winning ‘skinny triple’ sealed units.
“With Forel’s expanded 60,000m2 manufacturing headquarters and their presence in over 70 countries, their participation underscores FIT Show’s status as the UK’s premier event for the window, door, and glass industry.
“We’re excited for attendees to experience Forel’s latest advancements and discuss how these innovations can drive positive change in our rapidly evolving industry.”
