MFT offers ‘lifeline’ amid industry instability

Made For Trade has reaffirmed its position as ‘a reliable constant for aluminium glazed products, service, and supply’, following an increase in trade supply businesses failing across the UK.

According to MFT, many trade professionals are facing unexpected project delays, broken supply chains, and growing uncertainty thanks to ‘an alarming rise’ in pre-packs, liquidations, and supplier failures.

“The UK fenestration industry is currently facing significant challenges, with well-established and once household names collapsing at an alarming rate,” said Bradley Gaunt, managing director at Made For Trade.

“Economic pressures, rising material costs, shifting consumer demand, and post-pandemic operational strain have created a volatile environment where even the most recognisable brands are facing daily challenges to compete and perform.

“This instability has left many installers exposed to disruption, uncertainty, and loss of supply chains they once relied upon,” he continued.

“In contrast, Made For Trade stands as a beacon of reliability. With over 40 years of trading history and a flawless record, having never gone bust or restructured, we have weathered industry storms and emerged stronger each time. Our Korniche-branded products have become synonymous with innovation, quality, and service excellence, and are backed by a business model built on resilience and long-term commitment to our customers. As the industry reshapes and consolidates, it has never been more important to align with a partner that offers not just market-leading products but stability, continuity, and trust. Made For Trade is that partner – we are tried, tested, and here for the long term”
