Cut-to-size savings
With suggested savings between £30k and £120k per year, Anglo says its cut-to-size service is a sure-fire way to regain control, as fabricators battle spiralling costs.
With the UK’s fabricators forced to bear the financial burden of rising employment and energy costs, Anglo says it is more determined than ever to support window and door fabricators in lowering their overheads.
Returning to the steel reinforcement specialist after a two-year hiatus, managing director, Paul Sullivan’s mission is clear: “As someone who is very passionate about the window and door industry, driving down costs and maximising margin for fabricators is very high on my agenda,” said Paul.
“Buying in steel reinforcement from us, particularly cut-to-size, is an excellent way to bring down costs, increase efficiency, and make some significant savings. We’ve offered a cut-to-size service for more than 25 years now, and its longevity speaks for itself,” he added.
Designed as a fuss-free reinforcement solution, delivered within 4-6 days from point of order, Anglo’s cut-to-size service makes expensive saws unnecessary, reduces handling requirements, and removes the need to manage and dispose of offcuts. With convenience a high priority, regular deliveries on a short lead-time also enable fabricators to minimise stockholding, freeing up space on the factory floor.
According to Anglo, businesses producing between 1,500 and 2,000 frames weekly can save more than £100,000 annually, and even smaller fabricators, manufacturing a few hundred frames per week, can see savings ‘in the five-figure range’.
“Labour costs have risen considerably since April,” said Paul. “Employing someone, even at entry-level, now costs almost £30,000 per year following the National Insurance and National Living Wage increases. Labour-intensive tasks, such as cutting steel, all take their toll on fabricators’ bottom line, so removing these elements from your workflow means that more cash stays in your business.”
As a newly accredited ISO9001 company, Anglo ensures its customers receive reinforcement products that meet strict specifications. Branded with the AngloGlav stamp for added peace of mind, the steel supplied as part of its cut-to-size service is no different.
“Our cut-to-size service drives cost-efficiency but that doesn’t come at the expense of standards and quality,” confirmed Paul.
“Our steel is precision cut, which means you are streamlining without compromising on performance,” he added. “That’s because we’ve invested significantly in our processes and equipment, including our £1m double-sided roll-forming line, to deliver quality, while keeping costs competitive.”
“For extra reassurance, our steel is branded with the AngloGalv shield to confirm its trusted credentials.
In light of ongoing economic pressures, Paul is urging fabricators across the industry to take decisive action and switch to Anglo: “Now is the time to make the change and unlock meaningful cost savings.”
“We want our customers to thrive, because their success is our success,” he said. “Taking up our cut-to-size service is a great way for fabricators to take back control and increase margin when costs are running away. I’d encourage anyone interested in making big savings and streamlining their business operations in the process to give us a call today.”
