Recent market data revealed that more and more fabricators are choosing to hedge their bets and fabricate two systems.

However, Profile 22 has claimed that fabricators buying Optima buck this trend.

Gerald Allen, Profile 22’s marketing manager, said: “It’s testament to the package of benefits that Optima offers that most of the fabricators who have switched to us since we launched the system in 2016 have chosen to single source.”

Gerald also said that switching to Optima is a ‘meticulously planned process’ that’s been tried and tested. Profile 22 promises fabricators they’ll be able to stop manufacturing one system on the Friday and start manufacturing Optima on the Monday.

A suite of Profile 22 marketing material, plus technical and customer service support, is complemented with the new Excellence as Standard membership programme.

Gerald also said the system has many benefits for those looking to dual source.

“Epwin brand products all share a common set of ancillaries and colour options,” he said. “It means that if a fabricator decides that dual sourcing is the way to go they won’t have to carry excess levels of stock because one set of ancillaries covers them for both systems.”
